We went here on a weekday afternoon, and could have easily stayed a long time. The vibe is chill and relaxed (chillaxed?) and the music is mellow, but not so much that it puts you to sleep—great for chatting or doing work. There’s food served for all three meals, so it could also be considered a bistro. Also, the coffee here is magical. One of the BOAST team members was tempted to drink it black. And he never drinks coffee black! It’s that good.
