Very friendly staff and customers. Seems to be very community based. It's great that they have small, medium, and large sizes for drinks since I tend to find the smallest drinks at other coffee shops to still be too big. Will come again :)

Nice coffee , practical location, smoky and pleasant staff. 4 hot drinks and 4 cakes for under $25 , the word is out , you do not need a green mermaid to get your caffeine fix. I am not sure if the cakes are homemade but they are certainly fresh and tasty. The whole decor could do with a bit of live or a bit of soul but there is one comfy corner. WiFi hotspot.

Cute little coffee shop with good coffee, a warm, easygoing vibe and a lot of charm.
Ordered an everything bagel and cafe latte, my guy had a breakfast sandwich and a mocha latte. Coffees were served in big mugs with pretty designs on top and the food was good.
Seems to be a popular spot to hang out but we ended up having to change from our mugs to to-go cups to head out the door after eating breakfast.
So much better and cozier than any Starbucks! -

This is quite the cozy local coffee shop.
Parking can be an adventure. While there will be a spot in the associated strip mall parking lot, it may not be the easiest most stress free thing to find. Patience is a virtue no more so then here.
Inside there is a variety of seating ranging form uber modern table/chair combos to super comfy plushy couches. There are some spots that are just perfect for lounging being socialable and laptop camping if you are so inclined. The overall theme is a cross between corporate and neo hippie.
The coffee is okay. There is a focus on regional/organic but not exclusively so. If that is the sort of thing that's important t you ask lots of questions in order to make the most socially correct choice. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with the drinks here. The quality is roughly starbucks equivalent but better because it's a locally owned joint. Pastries and suchlike are on point and are locally sourced if not made on site. Service is spot on-super friendly and fast even if they are understaffed at times.
So a local, non corporate coffee spot that is just perfect for social (or unsocial should you be so inclined. If that's you go for the tables in front as the back couch area tends to be chatty) lounging. -

Very seldom do I finish a small cup of coffee from a corporate coffee company like Starbucks or Coffee Bean. Not only did I finish my small cup of People's Coffee, the following day I purchased two bags of their coffee as well as large cup of their house brew! This place is pretty rad.
