I was all set and ready to love Biddle's Escape. They have a bead store in the back, sell books and crafts from local artists, and have an INSANE chalkboard menu-ed drink selection. I'm told they also have really great events (but they aren't on their website because they don't have a website...should have been my first clue).\n\nThe drink and the service are some of the best. I've had friendlier baristas, but then again, I'm used to \"my\" coffee shop with my Cheers-like greeting when I walk in. Even still, she was patient while I perused the menu and had my Camp Fire S'more Hot Chocolate pulled together quickly. It was decadent and sweet and had a hint of marshmallow which perfectly complimented the delicious (real) whipped cream topped with graham cracker crumbs. Oh my, heaven in mug and perfect on a cold day.\n\nIf that's where my experience ended, I would have given 4 or 5 stars. HOWEVER, I was stay to do work with a laptop. The wi-fi connection is horrible. It kept cutting out, and not just on my machine. The woman I was working with asked if their wi-fi occasionally times out and was told it was her laptop. Yes, her MacBook Pro (and mine for that matter, which works perfectly everywhere else) was the cause of the delay, not their internet service provider. So that kinda...wasn't cool.\n\nIf you're coming here without a laptop, you'll do great. It's a great space to work unplugged or catch up with a good friend.
