Nice place but watch out when paying as it defaults to a 20% tip even if you're buying just books.

My favorites here are the Mayan mocha and chai tea. The Mayan mocha is cinnamon and chocolate at it's finest. And the chai tea is so flavorful. The grilled cheese is really good as well. I would like to try other drinks here as well.
