Check out the art and music, or just sit on the couch and have some really good coffee. It's on the end of main street, so it's a good spot to wait for the train if you've got some time to kill.

Great food, but a little slow if they're busy. If you've got some time, it's definitely worth the wait. Don't order take-out, though. Their timing is all off.
