This is my standby coffee shop, not far from my home. They have been responsible for many morning pick-me-ups and curing weekend cabin-fever. The coffee is consistently good, and they have a pretty bulky menu with different sandwiches, salads, breakfasty-things on bagels (including tasty lox and creme-cheese, with capers!), as well as the standard fare of fresh pastries daily, fruit-in-a-cup, and other things I can scarf on my way to work. The staff is generally cheery and the service is almost always very fast (they're occasionally swamped, and I think their toasting-machine for things is a little on the slow side, but what can you do). They used to have no-strings-attached internet, and I was disappointed when they implemented a policy where you get a code that's good for an hour with purchase... but, it's hard for me to gripe about this as my mother is a business owner and I can understand how they felt taken advantage of by people coming in to purchase a 1.50 small coffee or whatever and then sitting all day long on the internet. Overall, it's a great place, I've been there many times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - I highly reccomend their daily medium roast, a peruvian coffee. I've never been picky about roasts as long as the coffee is made well but the Peru is AMAZING! Both my roommate and I are totally hooked, it's the best coffee ever. Yay Peru!
