Great little coffee spot on the East Side. Good coffee, nice staff, fun vibe.

Limited but generally well chosen beer options; limited food options (quiche or sandwich). 3 small rooms, but all can be a bit loud.
Nothing bad, but too many neighbors with better options (imho).

I am so glad that this place has stayed open. It’s located in a good section of the side and it’s very accessible. The food in the service have stayed really good.

Thought I'd come in and hangout to get some work done, but between the wobbly tables and the volume of the music it was impossible. It's not that kind of place, I guess.

A very nice place to sit - comfy and elegant.
But the coffee - we did not enjoy it at all.
If you like “dark roast” (nearly burnt with all the flavors killed), go there. Otherwise, choose another’s place.
(The barrisa did not even understand the question “what are your beans”.
“Dark roast” she said. Off course — toasted like this the origin does not matter, Columbia and Sumatra will taste the same)

A really great experience I had on Sunday morning around 10:00AM. I got an iced Americano and the espresso was solid. They have a lot of different seating options and areas so whichever spot is more ur vibe you can find here. They also have beer and cider at night, I would go back sometime to try this part out in the future. One thing I will comment on is how hard the baristas worked. There were just two of them and they were moving and grooving all over the place, they could have probably used a third person!! Overall great time and I will be back.
Parking: I don’t think they have a dedicated parking lot, but they do have a lot of street parking around.

Wonderful bar-café combo, fox paw is a wonderful drink if you enjoy chocolate covered orange peel. Summer squishy is also pretty grand, light and tropical on the front palette with the tiniest hunt of hops, I think, on the back
Good music, really nice service,
Top their hip lounge in the Madison area.

The owner, Dan Podell, is generally a nice guy, but he’s also dishonest and has a violent and delusional temper. Otherwise, it’s great place. The rest of the staff is top-notch, the best.

Nice little coffee shop with 2/3 seating indoors and 1/3 in a lounge area with a large open door for fresh air. Pricing was average and beverages were excellent. Park and walk due to location but nice area/location in town.
