A good place to hang out with friends, a nice alternative to the bar scene.
The owner runs the place like a dictator, however. I arrived at 7pm on open mic night, had just settled in to enjoy a pot of tea and surf the web, and was informed I'd have to pay a $2 cover charge or have to leave at 8pm.
I'm a fairly regular customer, 1-2 times a week, and it just seems that someone who regularly supports a business should not be treated in this manner.
I'll likely take my business elsewhere where good customers are valued for their support.
I found Muggswigz when I searched for a local place with free wi-fi. I went there for lunch today and while the drink selection was very diverse, they don't really do food per se, except maybe the muffins and biscotti. They do sell slices of fresh bread with various spreads (hummos, peanut butter, tapenade, etc.), so I managed to wrangle a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I also had a pumpkin smoothie, which was beyond good. The staff was friendly and helpful.
It was a tad noisy when I was there due to the enormous family next to me, but generally I think this would be a good place to grab a nice drink and power up the laptop or smartphone. The wi-fi connection was good and I managed to take care of my emailing and web browsing without any problems.
I'd go back again, just without the expectation that there would be anything to eat.
The coffee was really, really good. However, the atmosphere is so pretentious as to be nauseating. The staff was pretty nice, however. It's a trade for me--good coffee and a pretty reasonable price for irritating angst ridden kids. But not so bad. Go here, skip Starbucks. Trust me.
