Good amount of seating; great spot to work from. Excellent staff, though I am biased because I knew one of the folks working. Very well crafted; included latte art and the foam had really nice structure. Coffee was a bit more refined than Yego but less than George Howell, though more flavorful than the latter.

Unfortunately this lead me to developing an appreciation for it. 2025-09-24T02:28:46Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrsjhxa7897amzxqyqq69al2gypjpf5m26hll02xx90lczcj49p3szyz6ne98lpdwd2ajgxayykpujx8dgzcsex35gy26z449dka6eg96uw436u0l I regret to inform myself that I may be becoming a coffee person 2025-09-23T20:23:17Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs04yedlksj46sn6jjgpjzt5u0d7q0pm5se2zx0saxk2gm0xp2nueczyz6ne98lpdwd2ajgxayykpujx8dgzcsex35gy26z449dka6eg96uw3h2yp7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsph40rr4twhk2kjp0d7q5zvv8ugxwu0c5dgnn2t0rsrd4thhgqksgg8y8xq'>nevent1q…y8xq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You know what would help? <br/><br/>- Wider bike lanes so that faster traffic can pass, whether that&#39;s an electric motor or a lycra-clad strava striver. <br/><br/>- Traffic calming measures in bike lanes as well as car lanes to ensure pedestrians safely enjoy the right of way and speeds are safe for all 2025-09-22T16:14:08Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsph40rr4twhk2kjp0d7q5zvv8ugxwu0c5dgnn2t0rsrd4thhgqksgzyz6ne98lpdwd2ajgxayykpujx8dgzcsex35gy26z449dka6eg96uwre9x9c I&#39;m not going to share the article because I don&#39;t want to give it clicks but... blanket bashing electric micro-mobility is definitely ableist, and probably a good bit classist too. <br/><br/>I&#39;m willing to have discussions about safely regulating motorized micromobility, but saying they have no place in a bike lane and should instead be in the road with cars definitely ain&#39;t it. 2025-09-22T16:11:51Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsxc95mp9y4tayhg59rf5l9ud9cr4gacu7ac8h3wetu89eychl870szyz6ne98lpdwd2ajgxayykpujx8dgzcsex35gy26z449dka6eg96uw6k6h4r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswdvph0h7pp5yh2cgduvk729rnhymm4uu46w0cgjy7uvy034k672ctkfupp'>nevent1q…fupp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I *think* it&#39;s fair game to trim things overhanging your property, but I am not a lawyer and definitely not a tree lawer 2025-09-19T16:48:54Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyp6w92av4ujgmxw60hlz0r9y8gq35zyksmq87lt75r86t9tx0gugzyz6ne98lpdwd2ajgxayykpujx8dgzcsex35gy26z449dka6eg96uw2rmn37 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszjjludkxnl3k2wy9y20gff47ducrch3g49tgvpfcuc8kvszfz49sp66ee9'>nevent1q…6ee9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>but yes, violence tends to beget violence and that’s deeply concerning 2025-09-10T21:31:37Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszjjludkxnl3k2wy9y20gff47ducrch3g49tgvpfcuc8kvszfz49szyz6ne98lpdwd2ajgxayykpujx8dgzcsex35gy26z449dka6eg96uw3fge9x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstkllf9py2f0rmctz373d2wgfr50fex0h63htflg3eslala2qc4vgcp07gz'>nevent1q…07gz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I mean it did already happen in Minnesota a few months back 2025-09-10T21:31:08Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvgadcc4kwzuahtqx6ry5pyhwms3yddezz98m7smuptc6g7p6wm4gzyz6ne98lpdwd2ajgxayykpujx8dgzcsex35gy26z449dka6eg96uwgutzln In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszy2v6ldugke2e6gxrlxhsjxkrakltrcn3sx32cqzq7x82zs9tp4qmjglwh'>nevent1q…glwh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>*throws open window and sticks head out* did you hear everybody?
