The food here is just ok - nothing to write home about. The flavored coffee is good. The location is nice - I do like that I can sit out on the patio with my dog. What I did NOT like about this place was the wait staff. Not one of them smiled to anyone, not just me. I watched them huddle together like they were gossiping about a co-worker or something. That doesn't belong in the work place, must less a restaurant environment. I was very turned off by their behavior. I've eaten here several times -- same situation -- food was ok, location is nice, but the wait staff isn't up to par. Perhaps they are all family members? Who knows. If this was a one time issue, I'd forget about it. However, this is what I get every time I go there. I overlook it because I like the location and the outside area and the coffee. I don't expect friendly service at this place because I've never had it. Improve that aspect of this place and I'd tell *everyone* to go here. Until then, I'm ashamed to tell *anyone* that I eat here.
