Good music, good atmosphere for studying and working. Ambient noise and wide open space conducive to conversation without feeling self-conscious. Outlets are scattered in mostly hard to reach locations. Bike rack out front and also weirdly inside along the back wall. I can't imagine deciding to weave my bike through the tables and chairs and people to access these but I have admittedly never been here when it's raining.
good coffee, nice atmosphere. They have plenty of indoor and out door bike parking and some two top tables outside. Lots of room inside, people tend to use this place to work on their laptops.
Solid cafe with plenty of space for working. Convenient to MacArthur bart.
It's a great space to work or chat... Good atmosphere though very hipster. The coffee is unusually expensive given similar quality places nearby, but it's still tasty. Internet can be spotty when there's a bunch of people there.
One of my favorite coffee/tea/lunch/snack places in Temescal. Although food can be a bit inconsistent, depending on who's covering the kitchen. Poached eggs overcooked on too many occasions. But other sandwiches are great. Their baked goods selection gets scarce by later morning.
Love the overall atmosphere and the crowd is fun to watch and be part of.
Great coffee (Bicycle), other drinks as well, good location, no problem with parking. Fantastic service, very friendly staff. I love going to Arbor for a coffee and a nice couch to relax with friends.
The counter guy was super chill, and perceptive. He knew his stuff. After a battery of questions[1], he recommended tea for me, and a custom mix of leaves. He might've recommended a beer to me[2].
It's a minor schlep to get here from the MacArthur BART station, but rarely will you find a barista who'll get in your head. Maybe I was lucky?
I wish Arbor[3] took credit cards. Cash only, kids.
[1] In a good way!
[2] It's five o'clock somewhere. Were you expecting a useful footnote?
[3] I heard they're the Hawk & Pony now. They might even take credit cards!
