wanna get harassed?

by verystrongpanda

do not get a cup of coffee here if you intend to study or read... you'll get harassed by passerbyers in the window. advice: get their good tasting iced coffee TO GO.

• Pros: tasty iced coffee
• Cons: weird street walkers, limited seating

great daytime hangout

by scooter6

my favorite coffee-shop on 9th. good espresso drinks, excellent pastries, nice left-of-center atmosphere. the furniture in back could stand to be a little less dilapidated, but the daytime staff are fast, efficient and always pleasant, and there's generally some kindof nostalgia trip going on with whatever radio station the dial has chanced upon . . . a great anti-Starbucks option.

nice mix

by JackShay_Citysearch

A good mix of gourmet coffee, basic diner approach, yummy pastries, and coffeehouse vibe. They've got a big TV for programming, and some (kinda ratty but OK) couch seating. Unpretentious, varied crowd keep the worst of yuppie Starbucks and 'Hipoisie' coffee society far from your mind.

• Pros: good basic food, good coffee
• Cons: could be cleaner
