The Good

Spacious layout with plenty of seating even during peak hours

Can get noisy near the bar area during evening hours

Pro Tips

Arrive early in the morning for the best breakfast spread, which includes hot items like scrambled eggs and bacon that disappear by 9:00 AM.
Ask the bartender for the off-menu craft cocktail of the day. They rotate weekly and are surprisingly good.
The seats along the back wall near the printer station are the quietest spot for getting work done.
If you need a shower, request it immediately on arrival. There are only two stalls and wait times can hit 30 minutes during peak hours.
