    Gotta love the none corporate look and feel of this place, it has a nice charm to it. There’s also a café if you want to sip on something while reading a nice book!

    Try out the Blind Date with a book, don't judge the book by its cover.

    Coffee is always great but the cafe staff is usually short with customers and kind of rude. Also be aware of the list of rules or they will lecture you.
