The coffee is good (La Colombe) and consistently well-made, the atmosphere is homegrown urbancrafty - part punk, part art, part kitsch - and it always feels cozy. The people behind the counter are unpretentiously interesting and friendly, and damn if the homemade goodies (cakes and whatnot) are not tasty as all get go. Plus you get Hershey Kisses with your espresso.
Pros: Nonsnob atmosphere, Friendly, Tasty
