  Ok for coffee but not much else. I ordered a veggie panini and it was super soggy.

  An obnoxious place! I would never go back EVER again! I don't usually write bad reviews for a place but this time I really feel like I have to say something. On Veteran's Day, I originally planned to study in the Mountain View Public Library which is a block away from this cafe. Unfortunately the library was closed. In search of a place to study, I walked to the lobby of the Performing Art Center which is attached to this cafe and was delighted to find out several small tables and chairs there. As soon as I sat down, this obnoxious guy from the Cafe came up and told me I was not allowed to study there. So I had no choice but to leave the lobby and walked into the cafe. It was small and noisy, decor was mediocre, not an ideal place to study and read. But I decided to give it a try. I picked a table and sat down. As soon as I opened my laptop, the same obnoxious guy immediately came up and told me in a very rude way that "this cafe is for customers only". I felt deeply OFFENDED by it! 2/3 of the cafe was empty, and he couldn't allow someone to sit here for a while before buying a coffee? It wasn't like I was going to sit there the whole day without buying anything; I would definitely buy something, and I just wanted to sit down for a bit and reply to some emails first before I do that.
  
  In retrospect, that obnoxious and ugly-looking guy had the full intention of kicking me out of the lobby and forcing me into their cafe. What's wrong with a young woman sitting quietly in the lobby and studying/reading by herself? People working at this cafe do not care about customers at all and are rude to customers. All they care about is how to make money from you, and they're very short-sighted: they have already lost a customer forever!

  When I worked in this area I came all the time because the coffee is bad, so few people go there. the paninis are meh too. But that means there's usually a chair either outside in the nice plaza or inside.
