because its overpriced and bad? they also think they are better then other people


personally i hate them because the 1 time i went there to get coffee at 6 AM on the way to drop my GF off at the train station i walked up and ordered a "Large black coffee"
to which i got the responce "we dont have black coffee" i would most likely be in jail if my GF had not noticed i was about to murder someone and shooed me away and took care of it.

Well I don't drink their drip coffee because I find it bitter, but I quite like their espresso and two bucks for a double espresso is not overpriced in my books.

Obviously the guy that was serving you was a complete moron because I hear people order a large black coffee all the time around here with no problems.

I can't argue with that, which is why my first coffee of the morning is always made by me, unless I am absolutely forced to have it externally.

Hmm. Their espresso is probably their worst product, imo. It's fine in mixed drinks, but by itself it hardly resembles a reasonable espresso. A good coffee shop should be able to get you a double for $2 or less, for sure.
