The ambiance is laid back and easy.They play great music at the proper volume including jazz ,pop and even bands like Odesza or Flume & Chet Faker. The colorful urban graffiti mural on both the interior and exterior and exposed brick with track lighting and a copper hanging lamp in the front gives it a hip vibe when paired with the hardwood floors. You can sit on a long couch or 2 soft, big backed chairs that scream, "sit in me and relax." or a long wooden table with chairs that looks inviting for games or political chats or even a few smaller tables for 2. A bar with stools runs along the front windows so one can relax and people watch! It all blends together to make a comfortable, friendly place to hang out. The crowd varies from students on their computers studying, to a couple having a glass of wine and whispering, flirting, at one of the smaller tables to a group of folks laughing and talking about their day or even the solo person knitting or reading a novel. It's not overly loud, but you can actually have a conversation with a friend and not have someone give you a dirty look for talking. The acoustics work well for a great experience. The staff is welcoming and helpful, even willing to have a quick chat and a joke or smile, which is lacking in so many coffee shops these days. The endless coffee cup is a great deal at $2.25 as are other coffee drinks like a 12 oz drip coffee for $1.95, a 12 oz Mocha for $3.75 or a hot tea for $2.25. I have not had a chance to try many of the foods on the menu, but they do have breakfast sammies which run about $3.25, sandwiches that are about $5.85, or paninies that run about $6.65. They also have oatmeal and varying breakfast pastries. The blueberry muffin with brown sugar and maybe a bit of cinnamon, is delicious!! It has become one of my favorite treats at any coffee shop. They do have wines and spirits, even an unoaked Chardonnay (which is my favorite) at decent prices. I highly recommend you give The Molecule Effect a try! It is at the corner of Santa Fe and 12th Ave. Don't forget to ask them about the Belly App that gives you points you can redeem for free coffee or food items. Go forth and enjoy!!

Such a cool place! Coffee, tea, and a cocktail if you're so inclined. They've got a full menu of breakfast, sandwiches and tapas, with a good selection of gluten free options. Met Megan and Mark-very friendly people. What a fun discovery! I'll be back!
