Meal: (1) Coffee; (2) Drinks and a sandwich.\n\nRationale: We went here twice. The first time (1) was to stop for a cup of coffee and (I think) steal wi-fi from somewhere to plan our next move. Maybe we weren't stealing. The second time (2) was to grab a sandwich after drinking a bit at Dieu du Ciel! and to spend down some of our last Canadian currency before getting on our return flight the next morning.\n\nFood: (1) Decaf americano. Good. No complaints. (2) Ch\u00e8vre sandwich. A bit too heavy on the ch\u00e8vre. A bit too light on the other components. Still tasted okay, but heavier and tougher to get through.\n\nService/atmosphere: (1) Quiet and easygoing, just like a good coffee shop should be. (2) Given that our first experience of Casa del Popolo was as a quiet coffee shop, it was shocking to see it transformed into a crowded bar, complete with DJ (I forget his name, even though he spliced it into every record he spun). My sandwich took about 30-40 minutes to make. I was sitting at the bar watching it get made, sort of. I didn't follow too intently. But, even with 6-7 tickets ahead of me, is 30-40 minutes reasonable? I'm erring on the side of \"yes,\" because I've never been a half-bartender-half-sandwich-maker and I don't want to cross any lines, here. Maybe they had to go get more goat cheese.\n\nConclusion: This place is a good, versatile spot to hang out. As long as you're in good company, it doesn't really matter if your sandwich is too cheesy. I'd return.
