What I liked
Good all around, and even though laptops aren't welcome inside, there's other seating so you're not turned away.
What I didn't like
No laptops inside, so it's not the place to settle in for a long work session.

What I liked
Spacious. The back room actually has room to spread out, which is rare for a coffee shop up here.
What I didn't like
The Wi-Fi never connected, and the coffee and food run a notch pricier than they should.

What I liked
Very clean and modern.
What I didn't like
Barely any seating, three seats or so, and no bathroom.
