Daniel Wolf: Very friendly staff. Excellent coffee - a little acidic, in a good way. They also sell great sandwiches from American Sardine Bar (pricey) or just get a bagel with cream cheese on the cheap.
Barrett Lane: Nice, clean, modern place to get a quality brewed cup of joe. Also the baristas apologized for once having to subject everyone to Death Cab for Cutie. Now that's service!
Adam Besvinick: By far the best mocha I've ever had - better than Sightglass, Blue Bottle, etc.

Rally: Reserve a table at Rally for your next meeting. For more information Read more.
Lauren Smith: Interesting model where you can pay to ‘reserve’ a table for meetings or work. Cool idea but not really necessary given so many surrounding coffee shops where you can do that for free...
