On a humid spring day, I had to stop in for one of their smoothies. I went for the Pina Colada Smoothie. It tasted like a pina colada that was concocted from powder. I've had a better pina colada, however this one wasn't atrocious by any means. I was tempted to waltz into a liquor store to pick up a small bottle of rum to add to this smoothie.

The deterioration of this once fabled coffee institution is as disheartening as finding out girls don't really pillow fight in their underwear.  

They started out so well, luring me in with their blueberry scones and motor diesel java. Then. . . .

The cups began to leak.

So what, right?  A little cup leakage never killed anyone. "I'll survive." I thought. Then. . .

The prices went up from already extravagant askings. So what, right? It's not like I'm disgusted by my ATM receipt on a daily basis - eh hem.

Then. . .

They hired workers that consistently could not make a normal cup of coffee. It's coffee people!  Brew. Pour. Ring - repeat.

The final straw was the prices going up again. It's a shame, really.

If you ever go, say hello to Cassie - she's the one redeeming quality of this fall from grace.
