Below you will find our ratings 5 categories ranging from 1-10:
FOOD: 6.5 - We ordered during breakfast and ordered a "Sammie" which is a egg and sausage sandwich on a toasted bagel. It was good, but could possibly be made at home and taste the same and a "Fritata" which offered an ample portion of eggs but could have used more seasoning. The other parts of the menu offers some unique and favorable options based on what you order.
COFFEE: 8 - We both ordered the creme brulee latte and thought it was very smooth and had great flavor. If you do not prefer sweet coffee, this choice is not for you.
ATMOSPHERE: 8 - Great balance between public area and family area. The decor is fun and artsy without being cliche'. Miss matched tables and chairs create a layback effect. The marketing for local artists creates the community appeal. Local magazines are available to enjoy while you drink your coffee or to take home. There is an elevated work space set apart for students or business people that creates a separate but included environment to work on projects or finish up a spread sheet. The atmosphere fits well into the neighbored and does not distract from its outside surroundings.
PRICES: 8 - Prices are well below the average competitor. We got a whole meal for under 10 dollars. (Including the latte.)
PARKING: 8 (4) - We came in the morning and easy to access, but possible during more peak hours parking could be a challenge.
BROWNIE POINTS: 3 - Brownie points are things we appreciated about the establishment. We liked that they housed local events promoting local talent. And also that they offer and brew Fair Trade coffee. They also sell it whole bean in a variety of flavors. They also have a drink discount card.
OVERALL SCORE: 8
Kacy says: "The coffee was really good. The deserts also looked fantastic. Definitely a place to come and have coffee and dessert after dinner, and read outside on the patio ;) "
Ashlee says: " The location is wonderful for locals looking for that 'around the corner' coffee spot. I could see spending hours here and not even noticing the moments pass by. Branch out from the usual and take a little jaunt down to south city!"

This is one of my favorite places. I am there every week with a group from my church. They know us by name and we love to spend our money locally. I would agree with everything that you said.
