It works as a neighborhood anchor as much as a coffee stop, somewhere to read, meet, or simply pause. Expect the easy, unforced character of an independent spot: coffee made without ceremony and a room that fills with regulars. What it lacks in polish it tends to make up for in character, which is what keeps regulars coming back.
