This is a great little local coffee shop. They roast and sell their own beans (which you can see being done from inside). I enjoy their coffee and it's reasonably priced, but admittedly I do not have a sophisticated palette.

There is a drive-up window if you're on the go which is nice. The staff is very helpful (I think they may mostly employ local students and I noticed that they have specials for SPU enrollees).

I haven't tried their food. They have a small electric griddle they use to cook eggs, breakfast meats, and make sandwiches. Nothing gourmet but I would gladly try it before getting McDonald's breakfast.

Generally it's not too loud and there is lots of seating. You can even reserve a conference room, I think (not sure on the logistics). Ample parking and they even have outdoor tables which would be nice in the warmer months.
