This is where it all started. Different vibe now within and without - I can only imagine the craziness that would ensue if they ever tried filling the neighborhood with the wonderful aroma of roasting beans again as they did back in the day, and who serves brew in ceramic cups anymore? However, staff remains friendly, service oriented, and knowledgeable. Coffee remains excellent, the best you'll find, and in recent eons the company has become quite serious about encouraging their growers and supporting marketplace reforms to further assist them. Brewed coffee reflects the business' global vision so maybe not the exact same thing day after day but you can learn a lot from drinking their varying selections and asking questions of the baristas. The baked munchies are always on with the quality and tastiness in my experience.
