This is a high-volume roasting center where you can watch the beans roast in the middle of the room and browse a huge gift shop. It's a fantastic spot for those who want an immersive, 'bean-to-cup' educational experience and a reliable, spacious place to work on a laptop with plenty of power outlets. If you're looking for a quiet, intimate neighborhood cafe or a high-touch, personalized service experience, this isn't the fit for today.
