They were inviting and quick to make dri...

I have also seen a few of the original baristas come back since Becca's return, and I'm glad to see their bright and kind presence again. The previous group of gals seemed very clique like .. highkey have had better customer service at McDonalds but I digress. They were okay but definitely lacked in personality.

This is an excellent coffee shop! I really appreciate the cozy kids' area, the inviting fireplace during winter, and the fact that the layout feels more spacious compared to other coffee shops.
