Piccino is a tiny coffee bar that serves a decent menu of to-go drinks. I came here today with a friend and had a large mocha. My drink was yummy and not too sweet. It had a nice leaf art on top, which was a great touch. The barista was polite, but not overly friendly or talkative. He was focused on getting the drinks done quickly. Based on this experience only, I would've given four stars.
The reason I cut an additional star is because of the lack of seating in this coffee bar. It would've been great to have a place to sit and enjoy our drinks, instead of having to walk to the park across the street while catching up with my friend. While some folks may enjoy their coffee on the run, there's definitely an argument to be made about the social value of coffee and about coffee as a social glue--connecting people and building bonds. For this, one needs a comfortable place to sit and relax, something that Piccino lacks. There's a single bench on the curb next to a trash can.
The lack of seating also means this business creates immense amounts of trash by serving drinks in single-use cups, which while compostable are still not great for the planet.
