I drive across state lines for their chai, I can’t really drink any others at this point and I think about it a lot more than I should. Have never had a problem with unfriendly staff and there’s lots of easy parking!

Seating inside and outside. Espresso was good. 3.25 There is music and bamboo shoots around the seating area in the back. Kinda hard to find, not on the main st, gotta walk down an alley or go around back to find it. Well staffed, there were at least 3 people on and it was relatively busy when i went in but i didn't have to wait long.

Hidden behind Rubiner's cheese mongers is this delightful coffee and sandwich shop. The atmosphere is old school with beautiful tree decor in the dining area. The sandwiches were made with the fantastic cheese from next door and tasted amazing. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

I got the classic grilled cheese and a cappuccino and sat by the fire. Really nice place and nice people.

Probably the best PB&J sandwich I've ever had. The toasted rye bread that I ordered it on was delicious. The jam of the day was raspberry & it did not disappoint.

The grilled cheese is sublime, likely the best you have ever eaten. It was the best for me. We saw them dip the entire sandwich in butter before grilling (Drops microphone).
