I'm pretty basic with my coffee, but love their coffees and loose leaf teas. Really nice atmosphere if you're looking for a coffee shop to chill/work at.

I went to order a toasted bagel and 10 minutes later I still was waiting. So I went up and was ignored for 5 minutes. The baristas were talking to each other and it felt like they were trying not to look me in the eye. Nobody else was at the counter. When another person showed up that person got immediate attention. I finally addressed the barista who was a mere 18 inches away from me and asked when my bagel would be out. 'Shortly' no apology no time frame. So I waited I started noticing other customers getting their eggs and hash browns that were ordered after my bagel was put it. When I finally got my food it was the lightest toast I've ever seen. I wish I could take my tip back but instead I'm going to think of it as an investment in this review. No one part of my service met my expectations so I'm giving it a 1 star. No apology was ever given no explanation.

I love the atmosphere in here. The staff, architecture, decorations, location, and drinks are all amazing. I look forward to the days I get to go here.

Best macarons, good coffee, good service. Sometimes they have chocolate cups filled with cheesecake/custard. Favorite place to grab takeout treats for date night!

This is the ideal study location for those who dont like being packed into a college library, but also find it difficult to study at home. Super spacious, and honestly just aesthetically pleasing. The drinks are great, and the French macarons.... SO DELICIOUS!

Their mochas are great. They have a great selection of tea, coffee, espresso-based drinks, smoothies, prepackaged drinks or meals. Comfy seating for meeting with friends. A great place for espresso-based life forms.

Weakest coffee ever I think they gave me a latte I ordered a mocha with caramel and it was an espresso coffee so it should have a little more kick to it. Tasted like watered down hot chocolate with a little coffee flavor not great for the price I paid. I probably won’t go back.

The food and coffee are excellent, the staff is great, and atmosphere bright and comfy, with a nice fireplace. I'd recommend this place to anyone!

If you are looking for good customer service with a friendly atmosphere, do NOT go here. Every time I have gone here, the employees have been extremely rude, and even mocked me for mis-pronouncing a coffee drink.
It is a shame, because this place has a nice atmosphere, but this is completely tarnished by the egotistical, rude employees who feel as though they are superior.
I would recommend McDonalds over this place.

Rude and inattentive staff with lackluster coffee in the early afternoon of New Year's Eve. My latte had no foam and I felt like I got it from a gas station with the paper cup. Only thing good was the chocolate chip skillet cookie.
