In one fell swoop, PC has come close to evening up the trendy coffee shop computer challenge. It turns out that UW-Madison students are a bit more PC oriented than I've seen so far. Here's the totals for today: 9 PC's and 5 Macs.
Running Total: 13 Macs, 11 PC's
As to the coffee shop itself, not too shabby. I should come clean right now and tell you all that despite my wine glass swirling and sophisticated background (growing up in a luxurious double wide), I do not have the most discernible palette in the world. So you are almost always going to hear some variation of, "The coffee was good." I just don't really know - especially after I load it up with honey and milk. So pretty much just count on a score of 4 for regular coffee from here on out.
That said, Fare Trade's coffee was good and pretty reasonable at $2 for a medium sized cup.
The atmosphere was also tolerable if you're into a bunch of hot co-eds sitting at tables all around you. The only problem was there were too many of them. I had to stand around for a couple of minutes and wait for someone to leave before I could get a seat. It was also pretty loud with a lot of students working together. Lastly, I got gypped on the whole barista thing. I was served by a middle aged man, and about 5 minutes after I found a seat he was replaced by two leggy brunettes. Damn my timing!
In conclusion, if you're looking for a nice, quite place to sit and work, skip this coffee house. However, if you're looking to meet a study group or a date, this is a pretty decent spot to go.
Atmosphere: 3, Price: 3, Coffee: 4, Overall: 3 (0-5 point scale)
