food - chocs, as the coffee house is abridgedly called, offers a variety of food items as displayed at the counter, though i'd just got a drink during my recent experience. specifically, i ordered a house specialty drink called the honey badger, which includes various spices, whole milk, and the titular ingredient of honey, but thankfully no badger. the drink has a good taste, especially for anyone who enjoys creamy, frothed drinks. i've had the house drip coffee here before too, but decided to go with a specialty drink since the drip coffee is better for long stay in which you can get discounted refills.
service - the lady working the counter who took my order was nice and friendly, though i did ask for the bev to drink at the restaurant and got it in a to-go cup, but am not sure if that is how the specialty drinks standardly come. also, although my order was assigned to a name other than mine, it was at least not spelled out on the cup with the incorrect info there for me to see throughout my drinking experience, such as it might be at other unspecified coffee shops. and the guy who was calling out names of the orders did look at me when calling out the name to which my order got assigned, so i'm grateful for his help in resolving the confusion.
ambiance - the coffee house was rather busy during early sunday evening when i came, not so much as to fill all seating, but enough that the time might not be ideal for working or meeting in a group. nonetheless, the decor aspects of the ambiance at chocs is one of the premier features of the restaurant, with local art on rotation and occasionally for sale, and a doorframe from some previous architectural rendition stands near the west entrance among paint footprints, adding to the artistic appeal of chocs. so, while i did not have a great dining experience on my visit, i'd still recommend the restaurant for the vibes alone.
