Good wifi most days. Tends to get super crowded so be…More »
2. Lux
Is somewhat of a 'fairy tale' coffee joint - out of a movie/magazine type atmosphere. Kept getting cooler and cooler as I asked more questions about their store, walked around, etc.
Great coffee experience and they were roasting while I was there…More »
3. CREMA
really enjoyed my experience here. they obviously take espresso pretty serious given their name (crema = top 'cream' of the espresso shot...typically a sign that the shot is pulled right).
Free Wifi
Only 1.5 cons=
space is a bit cramp and gets packed.

Can't go wrong here. Roast their own and you can taste how fresh it is. Very knowledgable staff and not pretentious at all.
