Right under my building, but would make a trip for it still. Great service, and consistently great coffee! Also, the donuts they carry from Heavenly Donuts are quite tasty!

You will thank me for this one. Go for brunch. If possible, go on a weekday, because you're likely in for a wait either way. Worth it. Chicken and waffles, cocktails, amazing everything.
