This is in the library. It is a wonderful feature to the library. The selections are varied. Espresso bar, coffee, tea, sandwiches, snacks, etc. Hours are similar to the library. Service is quick and friendly. I enjoy their Thai iced tea.

The latte was fine (not that good honestly) But the best part about it is that it is convenient because it is within the library, the price is reasonable, and they have wide range of stuff to sell. All those reviews nagging about not letting them to sit there because they were not ordering anything, are not fair in my view. Yes, at the time maybe someone was not waiting, but if they see no space is available, they may not make a purchase. Also, it is their tables, so they can decide to have their own policy. It may be no harm in lending something of you own to someone, but simply you may don't like to do so. So don't expect others to let you use their resources freely.

Went there this afternoon and ordered a banana and Large Caramel Latte. Unfortunately I was clumsy and spilt my coffee. The two people who run the place (maybe the owners) where so nice. They immediately acknowledged the accident and said ,"It's okay we will be right there to clean it up." While the man cleaned up my mess, his wife made me a new cup. Some people just know how to takevcare of their customers. Thank you very much for not only making me comfortable but also remaking my coffee, which you did not have to do. Oh yeah the coffee is almost as excellent as the customer service. See you soon

They were able to seat us fairly quickly. They have many scrambles and egg based breakfasts. The waitress was incredibly attentive and courteous. I would recommend the mimosas and hash. :) Will definitely return!

Chicken salad was Delicious!!! Surprise hit and at a great price. Even the lettuce in the sandwich was crunchy and not soggy. Highly recommend. Had a meal for under $10. Can’t beat that.
