Despite the fact that this is a chain, it's a cozy place with a great vibe, lots of books on the walls, full of students and former students reading and work and drinking coffee or enjoying tasty treats. Lots of seating, relaxed. A/C is on high during hot summer days and the fireplace keeps things warm on winter nights.
