This place is the only one that's got the comfort coffee concept right. It looks like a total rip off of Starbucks abroad, in the sense that the menu is pretty much the same, fancy names for "small", "medium" and "large", as well as other aspects of the setup and design of the place. The cappuccino I had was quite delicious, with such thick froth, given I asked for non-fat milk. Yes, you heard me, all diet-crazed women rejoice - they have non-fat and soy milk as an alternative to fat-laden normal bovine goodness. Of course, if you happen into this place, you'll pay up for the concept, the comfort, and the extra goodies, like non-fat milk, etc. They also have some yummy looking pastries (chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip twists, etc.). The baristas seem fairly knowledgeable about how to make a decent espresso drink. Once they get wi-fi up and rolling (management said they were working on partnering with someone for this), this will be a frequent weekend morning haunt for me to get my reading and surfing done. It gets too commercial and noisy at night.
