High Street Station

Reviewed as a morning cafe only - haven't been here at night.

Friendly staff, comfy sofas, wireless, good light, tasty coffee. Very chill post-morning rush.

But the coffee is pricey - $3.00 - this ain't Philz where each cup is brewed fresh. And weirdly, the Americano is cheaper at $2.50. So, pro-tip, go for the Americano for 50 cents less and get a cup made fresh!

Also the wireless was flaky on the day I visited. They rebooted it at least once, and it went down again.

Also, the bathrooms need ventilation. They both had the stank when I visited in the morning.

Came here to see our friend's coworkers band play. It was a small cafe, with a little room on the left with a small stage. It was pretty cozy in there. The service here was not great. When we finally got our order taken, the people next to us got their food almost immediately after they ordered and we waited probably almost 45 minutes (it ended up being that the waitress mixed up our orders and gave our food to the people who ordered after us). When we finally got the food, I was pretty disappointed the portions were tiny! We ordered a Crabcake and Baked chicken with roasted rosemary potatoes and zucchini with salad. The crabcakes came out and they were two tiny crabcakes on the plate and that was it! The baked chicken was dry, the potatoes weren't cooked right and the zucchini tasted like they went bad.

The beers that the boys got were room temperature, they really liked the beer, they just wished it could have been cold.

My-My, had I read Tim's review I might have stayed away, not to mention the 2011 review of the surf bands experience! I am an avid fan of music and search for venues. The building and pictures of the inside on the web convinced me this restaurant was worth a visit.
The lady at the food counter was very friendly, very clean looking, and not at all the drug addict. The other 2 ladies serving and helping seemed nice and cordial, and my skanko meter is pretty good. No real problem that I could detect from the people on this shift.
Salad was good - dressing was store bought but serviceable, but i really came for the music.
Open mic with Larry Noble was very entertaining (3 1/2 stars). Larry and his band were very good (5 stars). I would go see him anywhere!
One suggestion for Larry and the owner - help Larry to understand the PA system. It looks beefy enough to handle anything - but sounded very muddled at best. Poor Larry seemed at a loss to fix this.
I have recommended this establishment to my cohorts at work and to my wife! I certainly hope the reviews below are aberrations and not the real deal. Hopefully I can start a trend up with this review. Hopefully, High Street Station Cafe will read Yelp and improve their food and service.
One question, do they have a kitchen -  A real food preparation, cooking and cleaning kitchen?
Good luck
