Joe Muggs Cafe

It’s a very nice place to just sit and read a book, get a drink, a snack, and relax. I like to sit and do homework. I’m secretary of a club and it’s one of few places we can sit and have a meeting. The food and drinks are a bit expensive, but a few of their drinks are great! Also, if you ask for a list of syrups they have one behind the counter.

Well, I hate to be the first to review and have it be subpar but I have to be honest in case fellow Unilocalers check out my rating to help decide whether to try this place…
As John H. mentioned in his review of Books a Million, Joe Muggs Café is a coffee shop in the back of the book store. There are plenty of seats and tables and I see lots of people using this place as a «library.» My personal convictions won’t allow me to sit in a café without buying something so I ordered 2 hot chocolates. With tax, almost $ 7 so I was a bit surprised and commented «Whoa — it must be good hot chocolate!» It was not. Obviously instant added to hot water and not very good instant, either. My companion remarked, «What did you expect, that they were going to melt some real chocolate into some hot milk for you?» No, but I was expecting good drinks…
On the plus side — the server was very polite and cheerful. Even though I mentioned previously that I’m against being a «user» (sitting and reading a book without buying it or even a hot drink), some people may view this as a plus. I’ll try not to judge.
