Tasty food (the pumpkin cake is a solid afternoon snack). Thanks to Angie for always being so cheerful when I visit…it’s nice to look forward to seeing a friendly face!

Service and atmosphere are great. The iced chai latte I just had was, first of all, so sweet it hurt my teeth and whatever they used for the chai spices (whether it’s a tea blend or one of those premade concentrates) uses really heavy anise so it just tastes like licorice. If I was a boomer I’d demand a refund from the manager. If I was Gen X i would probably throw it away. But since I’m a millennial/gen z cusp I’m just gonna drink it and try something else next time. Go bears

Fun to study here after class. They make their coffees strong and on the bitter side. I would order the galaxy latte, and their sandwiches are good, but their bagels are absolutely delicious and more worth the price. The best thing here are the berry smoothies; they taste like ice cream and are a real pick me up!

It’s good but they didn’t give me my bagel in a bag and they gave me a small melted cheese on my bagel, do it right or I’ll just make it at home. I’m not going to suck up to you more just to get a “perfect” sandwich. Basically don’t out people just because you don’t like them for the way they look.
