I briefly stopped by this location on the way home from Reno. I had been driving for about 6 hours and really was ready for a break. I pulled into town and quickly found the store just by cruising the businesses near the west side of the University of Oregon.

I was surprised at the seating capacity at this store. There are two rooms, an entryway, and an outdoor (smoking) section. My guess is that they have more than double Seattle's capacity.

This location seemed like a mix of old and new. Parts of the building seemed freshly painted, but others appeared old and time-weathered. The menu included the regular stuff plus smoothies and sandwiches. I asked for a tall drink and the barista gave me a grande. Hmmm. The iced coffee cost me $1.40, $.20 more than at the Seattle store.

I was able to take some pictures while I was there:

• The storefront, from across the street.
  
• That was a delicious fresh-baked muffin!
• The front part of the main seating area
  
• The outdoor (smoking) area
• The bar
• Waiting in line to get my iced coffee
• Waiting out front
