The vibe is low key, more cafe/coffeehouse than public house. \n\nSpotted with mismatched chairs and tables, pop(ish) art clipped creatively to the walls, you order and pay at the counter and find a seat. Very casual, very college.\n\n (-) Let me just say that I am not a fan of the Ipad POS system. I'm immediately given the option to tip 15%, 20%, 25%, or nothing. Normally in an order-at-the-counter-and-seat-yourself situation where I don't have an actual sever, I'd tip a dollar or so but I ended up tipping 15% before I had even seen my drinks. \n\n(+) Coffee and tea selections are good (Intelligentsia) and they offer about ten sandwiches. The barista was very helpful in suggesting a roast for my very basic coffee drinking boyfriend. Our sandwiches came out before our drinks and I reminded the barista who dropped them off of our orders. He said they'd be right out. \n\n(-) Second mini-rant, this place needs order/table numbers. Walking out of the kitchen and \"auctioning\" off food is not complimenting the laid-back vibe. It looks inefficient and chaotic and I'm pretty sure people are ending up with the wrong beverages. Unfortunately, we finished our meals before our coffee and tea had even arrived and when I went to request that they be made to go I watched the staff realize the ticket had been thrown out with our food order. \n\n(-/+) The barista was apologetic but sorry should be an action not a statement, especially in service industries and I would have liked to have been refunded for the drinks. After all, we waited over 25 minutes for a coffee and tea. \n\n(+) Oh yeah, and the food was pretty good.
