Good for studying, reading but the coffee and food were pretty bad. The coffee was too burnt. The latte foam is non-existent. Grape tomato&fresh mozzarella wasn't too bad. They are just how they are. The homemade pesto sauce was really plain. No favor at all.

good vibe, nice staff. it's a good place to meet a friend or get some work done. i'm not much of a coffee drinker, but i love their lemonades. the book selection is good — they have a variety of genres & a decent foreign language section.

Great used book variety, organized but not too organized, decent coffee, and tasty sandwiches with an outdoor eatery. Enjoyed my time there.

Easily my favorite place for coffee downtown. They have a great selection books spanning every genre you could think of. Also a great place for pulling up a chair and getting some work done!
