    Great location - super greasy food. Sorry, the menu sounded awesome, maybe we just came at the wrong time. Excellent Mocha.

    A coffee shop trying to be a restaurant, and failing in my opinion. I would jot recommend eating here or eat here again.

    Avoid the Caesar salad... Possibly the most disappointing salad ever. The lettuce was at least very fresh and crisp, but virtually no dressing- what was there was mostly flavorless.

    More of a "grab n go" kind of place. When dining in the service is terrible. Coffee is great though.
