This new coffee house/bar is a swankier version of Starbucks.  The coffee drinks (with and without alcohol and/or ice cream) are fab, but avoid the food.  Just about every food item on the menu (not counting the desserts) aren't fit for human consumption.  The decor is cool, but a little too plastic.  What else can you expect for a chain?  Only Pop Stop (the early years) and Zig Zag (for the first few months) came close to a truly cool coffee house scene in D.C.  San Francisco we ain't!
