Big Mike's Coffee Shop- a Mother-CENSORED Review

A while back I talked about the new 24 hour coffee shop opening up. Well in my desire to move quickly and write timely reviews I just went there a few days ago. At the risk of sounding like the Daily's food snobs or whatever I'll tell u a little about it.

First: I like it. One of the problems I had with the Jupiter house is that it closes. Yeah, I mean, why close? Right? I did some research (took a guess) and found that it was (probably) because of the extra cost. Well whatever it is that made them change their hours from 24/7 to closing at 2am to closing at midnite. And I went from going there to not to not.

Secondly:  It's spacious. Relatively. I mean in real space it's probably 3/4 of the size of Jupiter house (square) or Banter. However each table is sittable. At Banter you have two choices: rickety table or couches that will swallow you whole.  Jupiter House gives you those high ass tables. I figure they are thinking that it's kinda like a library or some shit. I figure it's an exposed position. Probably because my dad was a spy --note: there is no evidence he was but if there were he wouldn't be a very good spy would he?-- I like to sit where I cannot be spotted easily. High seats like the ones here and at Hooters just don't appeal to me. And at least Hooters has .... well, hooters. JH has maybe hipster hooters which are covered in ironical clothing from seemingly 1973. So take your pick, homie.

Where was I? Oh yeah: sittable. Plus they have booths (plural but really I think there was only one) with big ass tables which is awesomeness.

The Bad:

Well if you really love you some Coca Cola then Big Mike's is not for you. I remember strolling by when it used to be Voyager's and seeing the anti-coke propaganda. It made me chuckle. Now they have it splayed on the table brochures. Makes me chuckle still. Not that I am anti-human rights or anything. It just makes me chuckle.

Big Mike's Philosophy

So don't ask for a coke and you should be good. I am kind of a night owl so getting there at midnight etc is awesome because I avoid the crowds. If it is crowded during the daytime (probably) then I don't know about it.

Overall: A. I will be going back again.



**********Update*********

I have since returned to Banter. They moved the people-swallowing couch. It's now near the front and they have put out less much wobbly tables. In fact, my last visit there was about 9 times as enjoyable (note: all measurements are exact).
