    Wifi yes, password on the chalkboard. Outlets at the window counter and the back wall. Two-hour rule during morning peak.

    Kids welcome, high chair behind the bar, ask. Stroller fits inside if you bring it in past the front step.

  • With dogs

    Dogs welcome on the leash. Water bowl outside the front door from April through October.


The short list.

  • Rule III

    Leave the laptop.

    No laptops past 11am, no Wi-Fi password gates. We want the room to feel like a room.
