I suppose that never occurred to me, since I don't. Anyway, I usually
just stand there at the counter until I see food that looks like what I
ordered.
Not sure about their hours, but I think they're open until 10 most
nights. I can't speak for the quality of the coffee since I'm not a
coffee drinker, but my wife the coffee snob will go there so it must be
pretty good.
