A friendly, comfortable coffee bar, with a wide variety of places to set up your laptop and work, from a table near the display window, where you can watch the passing Brookside scene, to the bar, where you can chat with the baristas, to a couple of quieter rooms in the back of the shop.  Great coffee drinks, both hot and frozen, scones, muffins, and brownies.

The music is kept at a reasonable level and ranges from Hank Williams to Billie Holliday to newer stuff that I don't recognize.  Open until midnight most nights, 1 a.m.on weekends.  Baristas are friendly and helpful.  A great place to hang out and converse.
