cafe next to Martsa's on Elm Street?

The storefront next to Martsa's on Elm Street, which I think used to be a hair salon, is now some sort of café. Has anyone here tried it yet?

The food is great. The coffee drink I had was truly horrible, and apparently a "large" means "put it in a large cup and add more foam." I mentioned my unhappiness to the waitstaff, and they just shrugged it off.

They're still very new, and very much learning how to run a cafe. I'm not surprised my drink suck, given how much confusion they had behind the counter, and how much time they spent running into each other. In general, they
need to get their flow down on both sides of the counter.

I'll buy their food. It'll be a long time before I give them another chance on the coffee though.

I had a perfectly respectable mocha last week. It was a slow time of night, and the woman serving me clearly had to go think: "Mocha--what's in that again?" but having done so, she came up with an answer to the question that made me happy.
