Swork Coffee

Very nice coffees and service

Mexican Maya mocha is my guilty pleasure. Great place to get a little work done or just to enjoy your coffee while watching the kids play in the play area.

One thing I enjoyed about this place is the set up of the chairs, very comfortable and not that crowded. I think I found my new coffee shop to go to.

I love the coffee here. I always buy my daily dose of coffee here and their bagels are always fresh and tasty. Great place too to hang around if you are in a break.

Nicest people around. Went there for an after-lunch espresso and enjoyed the ueber-friendly staff and a really good coffee. We were greeted with a smile and when I ordered, they made my macchiato to my specifications; if you've been to cafes around here, you know that this is out of the norm. Cafe was good too. Recommended!

The essence of a coffee shop is usually not its coffee, but its comfort. How comfortable is it to get some work done? How comfortable is it to hang out and relax with the morning paper? For while the coffee itself is important, if it were the most important part of a coffee shop, I'm afraid, McDonalds and 7eleven might be the Shangrilla of coffee.



But seriously, I am not a fan of the overly strong Starbucks coffee that gives me a heart burn every time I take a swig. Rather, I prefer light, tasty coffee, a la Dunkin Donuts.



So when it comes to coffee shops, I prefer to rate it on "ambiance, attitude and allure". I think I should patent this - the 3 A's. Anyway, Swork has all of the above. They have free Wi-Fi, ample tables for singles and accessible power outlets to juice those laptops.



They have great outdoor seating as well for those babysitting their dogs or those interesting in people watching.



Inside, they have a couple of computer terminals for pay-as-you-go use. So it serves as a decent internet cafe. But bring your own laptop, buy a coffee and you will get free Wi-Fi.



So why the 4 stars? Well, the coffee is still a part (albeit a small part) of the experience and it does not measure up. It is way too strong (even their breakfast blend is strong).



Also, while some might consider being infant friendly a plus, I really have no patience for loud toddlers. Swork has a play pen area inside for young boys and girls to play around in while the parent catches a break. Some might give that an extra star and maybe one day I will too, but not today

Their coffee drinks are amazing, although the place gets really noisy and could use more seating.
