Charming ambiance with a wide selection of coffees, Italian sodas, from breakfast to lunch. We had breakfast; the service was respectable and efficient, with the food satisfyingly delicious! Conveniently located next to the courthouse, with free parking.

Great coffee. There is a decided lack of disco, but I guess it goes along with the death of polyester suits. There are always a metric ton of city workers here over lunch, and I cannot remember ever seeing any polyester. Lots of suits though. The disco music era gave way to punk, to hair bands, to grunge, to aging mouseketeers, and the suits kept up. The coffee cups are real, and the food is not made by cyborgs. It tastes of the folibleness of humanity in every bite. (Not byte) cyborgs are welcome according to the sign, and I'm glad hate isn't on the menu, even though personally, I do believe all cyborgs are out to get us. One of the signs of an impending cyborg sit it is Hertzog music. It's very different from disco, and is easy to spot. It's not played here either. It's not a place for night owls, as the hours, and nosy police, prevent any coffee drinking on the premises after their afternoon closing. It's the only place in town to get a decent grilled pb&j, and that says everything.
