I come here a lot. Like pretty much daily a lot. It's getting weird. Why you ask? I'm not a huge fan of chains. The espresso is great. They roast the beans in-house. They display local art. The people watching is fun. The patio is shaded and dog-friendly. The employees and owner are friendly, some might even say charming. No seriously, ask Lisa, the owner. She'll tell you she's charming. \n\nBetween my house and place of work there are at least 20 different options for coffee. The usual suspects: Starbucks, Coffee Bean, some local jobs, and even a strangely placed Dunkin Donuts. I go in the wrong direction every morning to go here though. They're fast. Even faster now that I have a pattern of ordering. The latte is usually waiting on the bar for me by the time my card gets processed. \n\nAnd that, my friends, is why I have become the Duchess of this fine establishment and lived happily ever after in the Land of (soy) Milk and Honey. \n\n(ok, that last part is a touch dramatic, but seriously, it's good here. Go.)
