Purchased:
12 oz coconut milk latte: $4.75

The web site said, "Whether you're ordering a hand-crafed latte or...", which made a latte sound good again, so I went with that instead of their cold brew (also a temperature-effected decision).  It was 50 cents extra for coconut milk (or almond or soy).  It was okay...not that great, especially compared to others lately.  I probably would have liked the cold brew more.  It was watery, not creamy, and had some of the bitter aftertaste.  The foam was bubbly, not creamy.  And there was no latte art!  I mean, it's okay...but presentation matters!

They gave me an in-house cup by default.

There was fancy self-serve water, in the flip-top bottles that fancier restaurants give you.  They had the tiniest cookies and things...for multiple dollars.  I didn't even consider.  But I did see someone eating something.

The interior is pleasant, with chill music.  There was light coming in through big windows in one corner, and it was cozier on the other side.  The coffee shop has a "modern"/clean look (I'm not entirely sure what "modern" means, but I'm pretty sure this is - in an IKEA sort of way...Macbooks and smartphones everywhere).
--This is funny, because after I wrote this I saw that my water glass was from IKEA, and I think other things were as well.

There are desks with office chairs, too, which I haven't seen before.  Some had full-size computers.  I think all the desks had reserved signs on them.  I started out at a little table, but it was sort of in the middle and I felt exposed (I get like that).  Someone left and I moved to some curvy, short, wood chairs in the corner.  I wasn't entirely sure that I wouldn't regret my decision, but my chair was reasonably comfortable and I got to lounge a little, which was comfy.  And I liked that I had more of an outside perspective on the super modern, sleek, office feel that was going on.  Then I could enjoy it more.  I like their style, and it's cool because it seems very functional to what coffee shops are these days, like places to work digitally and have fancy work meetings...but I guess if this is the progressive coffee shop, then I like throwback coffee shops more.  As a general rule I want to escape and not succumb to this stuff...or at least pretend that I haven't as I sit by a bookshelf in a comfy chair...with my Macbook.  This has become very introspective.

I knew making these posts would end up being interesting...

I had to move back to a table and regular chair since I stayed a while.  The chairs we not conducive to  great lengths of time.  I totally sat in three locations in an hour.  I was that person.  ...I am that person.

The wi-fi was kind of slow, but I only noticed it a few times.

They have a parking lot with plenty of spaces.
