I love this cafe for its free wireless, nice open patio, and friendly staff. The coffee is great too...and they have a menu of sandwiches and pastries for those who work up an appetite. The drive thru is great for the commuters who need a quick caffiene fix on the go. The ambiance is a kind of new-european cafe, with plastered walls and hanging plants. They have a large plasma (?) TV hanging in the comfy corner (where the couch is) that plays mostly news broadcasts (however the staff is very accomodating if there is something you'd rather watch) and they have satelite radio that pipes nice ambient cafe music that isn't too distracting for studiers or those reading the newspaper. On weekends they often have local performers on the back patio, usually acoustic singers. They also have a small selection of beer and wine for those winding down from a rough day at work.
Unfortunately, the last time I went to NTL, there was a sign on the door that said they were closed temporarily. I'm not sure if they have reopened yet or not. I certainly hope they have.
