I live a block away too. I don't normally go there too often. I usually go to Bumpy's or Beano. I love this area for coffee. In addition to these three there is also: Chiasso (which is okay), Good Earth (which I like when I am in the mood for a toasted seed roll), Starbucks and Waves (which I haven't tried).

I hope Kawa is not, because they do serve actually good coffee.
I was there last Saturday for lunch and it was packed. They ran out of the lunch special, so they obviously had enough business for that. I didn't even buy coffee or dessert since the line up was longer than I felt like waiting. So, I think they are doing okay.

This might be one of the few places that actually benefits from a coupon like this. Before the previous coupon I had only been there once and had a bad coffee. It was probably just a bad barista, but I really had no reason to try them again given the quality of their competition. But now that I have been there a few more times, I think they have the best food of all the coffee shops in the area (but the portions are a bit small).
