The prices are reasonable, and I like the vibe enough to support them whenever I'm around.

Lavender tea here is pure lavender buds and the most amazing lavender drink I've had (and I've…read moretried many!). No dairy or sweetener additions needed!

They have plenty of seating in their very large space, but also plenty of customers to fill the space. Ordering at the kiosk was fast and easy, and our orders came out quickly, too. What was unfortunate was that our Joplin sandwich ($12 base) was missing the add-on that we were charged extra for (+$2) and the salad ($16) was way smaller than the picture on the ordering screen. Both our items were tasty, but what we got was not filling or worth it for the price.

Also, this is solely on my experience with two baristas, but despite my kindness and nothing "being off" about myself, they seemed visibly uncomfortable with the cross around my neck. (I could tell by eye paths and micro expressions). Maybe we should ALL try to be cordial to one another despite our different ways of life!! They weren't unkind, but they weren't particularly friendly.

Although, the iced coffee and cold brew were good. The breakfast sandwich was the star of the show though, the Egg & Feta sandwich was perfectly balanced with greens, feta, fluffy egg and delicious bread. I was happy to see they had a few tables outside because inside was crowded and I was there alone and didn't want to take up an entire indoor table.

It's attached to Porter Square Bookstore so naturally there's some bookshelves inside the store. They are plants and some antique items as decoration. There's also a fridge on the side with grab and go items (kombucha, juice, salad) and a shelf by the cash register that sells snacks (popcorn, jerky, Pocky). I went on a Friday afternoon and the cafe was nearly full with patrons, including some working on laptops. I got the King Crimson tea which was pretty good. It was tart with a floral taste. This cafe has more personality than the usual Starbucks. I enjoyed my tea and went to the bookstore to browse.

I ordered The Imprint, which is an egg and cheese sandwich with chili crisp mayo on focaccia. I overall really enjoyed my sandwich with the small caveat that it was pretty greasy. The chili crisp mayo was delightful and the cheese (cheddar?) was flavorful. Egg was not runny but the yolk was still jammy, which is how I like it. I'll definitely be back to try more of their offerings!

They make pleasant conversation with customers and are always in a lovely mood. I generally love their lattes! They always do a great job making them not too sweet. If you're feeling experimental, their homemade lavender syrup is divine. Their croissants are decent but would taste much better slightly warmed.

We stopped by over Labor Day weekend while in town helping our kid furniture shop for her second apartment (the first one was a disaster back in May). My kid went for an iced coffee with almond milk and I had the Mexican hot chocolate. The texture was spot on, but the heavy hand with allspice or nutmeg ended up overpowering the chocolate itself. Service is nice though.

Okay -- it's time for me to review the S*nk. It's been a long time coming…read more I am both terrified and in love with the baristas at the S*nk. They don't like me and I'm a people pleaser which is a toxic combo but I think that's what you pay for at the S*nk. You also pay for the sometimes good but often kind of bad music that they play into the S*nk seating area which is lit with a red light? Kind of makes you feel like a rotisserie chicken which I guess is kinda cool. I like their drink names, so fun. Cinny Vanilly is so fun to say but a little foolish when you have to say it out loud. The best drink is probably the Hot Karl (but cold!). The Lucy in the Chai was just okay (the chai part is not great) and the Soylent Green was also just okay. I honestly think I subtracted one star because I know if I applied to be a barista here I would not get the job.
