I was a loyal Victors patron. Well, that is until ownership changed and Walter took over. Usually the word ""Hurry"" doesn't apply to my visions of cute neighborhood coffee shops. These days; however, Walter watches over the tables like a hawk to ensure that his dollar/minute ratio stays in his favor. Recently, I was waiting for my honey to arrive, with cash (they still don't accept credit cards, to me just another example of prioritizing his ""miserly-ness"" over the customers' convenience.) I sat at a table to wait, there were plenty available - yet he unnervingly stood and stared at me as if I were wearing an orange prison suit with ankle chains on. I honestly think he was trying to scare me off. But why, Why would I go to a coffee shop to sit there by myself without a book or anything and stare at the door? Perhaps because I was expecting what happened. Moments later, my cash-bearing dearest arrived and we ate breakfast - but boy you could tell he was worried he might not make money. It's too bad they don't communicate the term ""hurry"" to their slow-as-frozen-molasses staff. Oh, the irony.
Pros: They do roast some tasty beans.
Cons: The slow staff and unwelcoming new owner, Walter.
