This is my favorite coffee shop in my neighborhood. It's a quirky, comfortable, non-Starbucksy, worn (but not tired!) coffee shop. The decor looks thrown-together (and I think that's how it actually was done), and it's really the opposite of a Cosi or Starbucks.

I come here off and on to chill out. The coffee is great, and while I haven't tried all of the baked goods, the things I have tried (mostly muffins and bagels), have always been good. And, by the way, wi-fi here actually works!

This place is located on a main tourist drag — on Chestnut between 2nd and 3rd Street — so, depending on season and time of day, you may run into some fanny-pack-people. But it doesn't happen very often, and they don't seem to linger very long.

That's it for now. On to the next place!
