Cafe Murano

Good cafe that is independently run. Independent means that your mileage may vary in terms of quality, but we had a good experience nonetheless. We were here first thing in the morning and got a chance to try the breakfast bagel, which was good though a bit expensive. They're preparation of the coffee drinks were good, not excellent though.

Came here to study for my series exams; it's a quiet cafe with a nice relaxed scene. I ordered a house coffee which was dark roast, and had a breakfast sandwich. The egg was steamed rather nicely. Among other amenities, there is WiFi and desks for work (and outlets!) which was really helpful but beware of "winter hours" which start in October. The cafe closes at 3:30pm instead of 5pm on Sundays.

I stopped here for a quick breakfast. The interior was a bit dirty and unappealing, but the breakfast amazed me: I ordered their oatmeal with fruit, and it was the best oatmeal I'd had in a long time. The servers were really fast and nice as well. Will definitely stop here again when I am in the neighborhood.

The interior is cute, and the shop is situated in a nice area of town, but that doesn't make this little cafe a good coffee shop. The customer service was sub par (it seemed like a chore to take my order), they couldn't tell me what coffee roaster they use, they put a double in my 16 ounce americano when I asked for a triple (the shots themselves were weak too) which made the coffee thin, and they had a very tinny sounding stereo blasting 90's female singer songwriter hits that made it very hard to concentrate on the book I was reading. Cafe Murano may have a hip aesthetic, but if you're looking for good coffee, I would recommend going somewhere else.
