Friendliest baristas anywhere. Like "Cheers"... with coffee instead of beer and Brian instead of Sam. Child friendly without feeling child dominant. Delicious coffee, of course!

This is where I buy my coffee to brew at home. Tougo Coffee is also a great place to go and hang out. There is even a room for kids to play, and an outdoor patio!
