I used to come here once a week and came back for the first time since the new management and its just not the same.
Its a completely different vibe from what it used to be. They got rid of some of the board games and the fun wall art.
The latte I got was not good and the pastries seem to have changed company or recipe. They didnt look appetizing.
Ill miss what it used to be but wont be coming back to the coffee shop part.

I like the atmosphere here and the fact that it's open until 2am. I got an Iced Americano and didn't really like the taste because of how acidic it tasted. Either than that the staff was friendly and it's a great place to study and chill. Thank you.

Good collection of board games. Newly opened terrace section is awesome - great atmosphere with gazebo and more games. Last but not least, strong Wi-Fi connection. ????

Imagine cultivating the most driven, caring, and business-minded staff working for you, and you manage to mess that up. What a waste.
Outstanding staff that goes above and beyond for you and always makes you feel at home, too bad the owners won’t pay their employees a liveable wage. At least promote them to have the MARKET wage. It’s unfortunate to see so much potential for a business that thinks they can operate with out the very staff that has been carrying it for all of this time. Good luck finding a new crew who will put even half the effort and care into your business that your previous staff did.
The coffee is good. The location is perfect. The owners lack business sense and have now managed to lose quality staff. Good Luck.

Excellent coffee place! Lots of character and places to sit, even outside! Always someone that can explain everything and help you choose from the many choices on the menu.

Was a great place for good coffee on campus. However they refused to pay their staff a fair market wage and let a five star staff go. Don't cross the picket line. Avoid unless they go back on their choice.

Stopped in for some coffee and a treat this morning. Wonderful place. They have a huge coffee menu, they have adult beverages. This place stays open till midnight. There is a fantastic outdoor seating area, for those not to hot days. And best of all there is a huge selection of board games and enough plugs to satisfy the techies. The staff was super friendly. I will be visiting this place often. Thank you.

The employees are so nice and friendly but so loud. They yell and sing very loudly and turn the music up to a disturbing volume. At one point one of the employees announced "I'm sorry for yelling!". I had ear plugs and noise cancelling head phones and it did not help. This is not a good place to study. I could tell many others around me were also bothered because they were trying to get work done but the environment is more like a bar instead of coffee shop/cafe.

It’s a nice enough hangout. One can indeed have individual privacy in one of the nooks carved out of the interior, or have a small meeting of friends. The staff is nice. The music is often good. The coffee beverages are fine. Bathrooms are clean.
The baked goods need some serious improvements. They’ve got the worst, most incorrectly made *croissant I’ve ever experienced anywhere. Other baked items I’ve had were underwhelming.
