I'm not a coffee drinker but they have plenty of space to hang out if you like that sort of thing. Also free wifi with purchase and a decent food variety for a coffee shop.

A little pricey but has a really nice patio. I got a very yummy salad the last time I was there - with quinoa & avocado. I could tell it was very fresh! They are dog-friendly (water bowl, treats).
