	No decaf - Went in one night around 7:30 and ordered decaf and was told they didn't have any. This was the second time and I've only been in there twice. I was told they had iced decaf which indicated that they had the decaf coffee but just didn't want to brew a pot for a customer. I normally wouldn't mind, but they are a coffee place. If this happened in a deli or a place they didn't specialize in coffee, I would understand. Ridiculous. Keep a packet of sanka on hand if you need to. Also, the outside seating is next to a cigar store, so it always stinks from cigar smoke there. Don't bother with this place.

	A Coffee Shop to Pass - This coffee spot decorated with beaten up stools, counters, and coffee bean-filled tables fails to impress. Although there is a small selection of sandwiches and pastries, most are unappetizingly uncovered. 2% milk isn't available for your coffee and the cappuccino is bitter. The only draw here is the outdoor seating placed under a sprinkling of trees.
