I go here on occasion to get coffee in the morning (probably 20-30 total visits). It is very close to my house so it's convienent proximity wise. It's a smaller locall business so I expect the prices to be higher but they truly push the limit of acceptibity. I've lived in NYC and spent lots of time abroad in various parts of the globe including notoriously expensive London and Australia. That being said I've never paid over $5 for a cup of coffee in my life until this place... Arrogant hipster pricing as I see it. The staff follows suit. Arrogant hipsters, which even if the place is dead inside will gladly leave you hanging for a minute or two (changing music and whatnot) before they help you. Once your order is complete, they'll gladly slide you a receipt to sign expecting a tip for their hard work. Their demeanor on the tip thing reminds me of the entitled wait staff of Austin,TX. Almost demanding a tip for pouring a cup of coffee or steaming some milk. I wanted this place to be good so bad cuz it's close but it's horrible. The inside is cool and I love the bar/coffee shop mix but the staff/service is horrible and it's a place that makes you feel like you're overpaying to be a part of...
