    I walked by there some time last month, and I gave up trying to decipher the name after 30 seconds.

    I wish them every success, but I think I want to keep my food and acupuncture in separate establishments.

    Went by yesterday to check them out.  We only knew it was the place because of the location we saw on the yelp map...the sign didnt help us at all.  The food looked good, and space very pleasant especially if you have kids.  We went in with a stroller and it was wonderful to not feel cramped, and there was another parent there with a stroller.  The owner very pleasant.  We'll definitely be going back to try a few dishes.  

    As for the accupuncture, you wouldnt know it was happening if they didnt tell you since its in a back space.  Dont worry, it aint happening in front of you as you eat, although that could be interesting if you can get it done while eating....2 birds 1 stone and all.

    They mention a rooftop deck in the article! Interesting.

    I had the homemade brownies....so much deliciousness.

    They are getting a lot of press.
    I've been in and grabbed a menu, but the prices are too high.

    Which prices are too high? 

    I went in recently and got a coffee and a delicious chicken sandwich for around $10 which I think is reasonable, especially given the quality of the sandwich.

    I feel the same. I would love to take some of the yoga classes but there are bettet deals elsewhere closeby.

    The other options (massage, acupuncture etc) are tempting but pricey. They do however have a group acupuncture to a discounted price. How on earth does a group acupuncture work?

    There is something about the atmosphere that I love, though. It is so welcoming, nice and airy and makes me what to sit there for hours and nibble on their frittata.

    I got an e-mail from Mountain today advertising 40% off a massge session.

    I hope lots of press and discounts means they realize they are a destination.

    My thoughts are that one does not get acupuncture on the spur of the moment.

    I wish their prices were lower. It's the closest new business to me and I was looking forward to it opening, but I rarely go. It seems they have been offering some cheaper options as of late (some yoga classes are $10), so I hope that will extend to ther full range of items/services.

    It also feels more like a sterile cafeteria to me than an airy, cute cafe. The decor and furnishings need some tweaking to make it cozier. Tables and chairs could use improvement, or they could add some seating options like a couple of arm chairs or a bar and stools by the big window. More plants would easily add to the vibe they seem to be going for.
