Julia Jung: My new Go To place for coffee and surfing the web. Clean deco., freshly brewed tasty coffee, relaxed atmosphere. Wish they had more sofas & couches.
Nick Campbell: WiFi: Guest at the Classic/classiclove. Herbal tea has a nice minty finish (even if it's out of a package). Pastries are good. Atmosphere is why you come back. This is the new CoffeeBar.
Gillian: Yes, the baristas are wearing suspenders. But they're also, like, nice.
