Been coming here for years but the prices have gotten out of control and we just can’t justify stopping here anymore. For instance, this morning I ordered a medium latte and breakfast burrito. The burrito now costs about $14 and my order, for the latte, burrito and tax, was $20.79. Over twenty dollars for a coffee and burrito? It’s just crazy. (The burrito used to cost $6.10, less than half what it now costs. And to be fair, the breakfast burrito is quite good, and spicy.)

Cozy atmosphere with a fireplace and quiet study room. Friendly staff. They have an amazing selection of drinks that changes with the season, but you can also get a delicious cup of coffee that is locally and recently roasted.

Went through the drive thru and ordered two bagels with cream cheese and butter. She told me that you have to put the stuff on yourself?! How does that make any sense?? Nothing special about this place.

I’ve been at the window waiting now for over 10 minutes. All I ordered is hot chocolate. Service is very slow. They didn’t offer anything as far a cinnamon Rolls muffins or breads that were on the menu everything was out. Still sitting here we are now at the 15 minute mark and this is crazy.

I love this place. I love the staff. I love the environment. It’s priced competitively with other fine coffee establishments. They do have some options not offered other places. My favorite is the Mexican spiced Cocoa with some espresso.
