Pros

Tips at SOME locations are great.

Cons

Owners are performative and fake. The business is clearly dying and bleeding money.

Pros

The manager Valeria is very nice and understanding, there is a lot of trust put in you as an employee which is nice. Very nice regulars and also was very fun to learn more about coffee while working here. Small team which is nice and you work individual shifts during the week. Also the pay is pretty good too

Cons

I can't think of anything besides the natural lighting not being ideal, I wish the barista bar wasn't so far back from the windows but that really does not effect the job at all
