Talita Táiti: Great place for a cold brew (really great selection) and some delicious and fresh food. Hubby and I had sandwiches and they were both amazing! Even a simple grilled cheese knocked it outta the park.
Deneen: Shhhhhh... the upstairs bar is the place to be!
rebecca sloat: Extremely rude bartenders. It's unfortunate because I love their food and beer selection, but I won't be coming back. I won't support a place who treats their customers so poorly -- get new employees!
