Victor C.Victor Castañeda: Get a shot of espresso, make sure to ask them how it's doing, follow by a Monkey Picked Oolong tea, perfect caffeine buzz, especially by the 3rd or 4th infusion. Ask about the myth behind the tea. :)

Arthur R.Arthur Richards: Best iced coffee and espresso drinks in town. If there's no parking in front, try the North side of the building or in back.

Kelly K.Kelly Kleber: Cartel has the best peanut butter, jelly and apple sandwich! They have great coffee as well. I recommend trying a vanilla latte or iced coffee with soy milk.
