  Decided to try this place out for lunch, pretty good list of sandwiches and salads. I got the desert chipotle chicken sandwich and it was great. The chipotle sauce is homemade and has a pretty good kick to it. You could make these sandwiches at home but they're still good.

  I'm a student and I love studying at coffee shops. Sadly this one isn't conducive to studying because of the loud music and spotty wi-fi. It would be a good place to meet a friend for a coffee. I hear they have shows at night and this would be a great venue for music. The coffee drinks are good. The chicken pesto I had was not good. It had obviously been cooked way earlier and was just sitting around somewhere. They heated it up and it didn't taste fresh. The bread was soggy and stale. I really want to like this place. It's not the kind of coffee shop I'm used to. I prefer an atmosphere like Kinley's. But it is a good spot to go downtown for coffee.

  I wanted some decent wifi action in a hip locale on this fine Sunday morning. I thought I hit the jackpot when I drove past The Percolator and a parking spot was almost right outside of the door. My heart quickly sank when I walked in and was told that church was about to start. I don't want to deny people the right to believe but they denied me the right to stay and surf the interweb! It's not like I was asked to leave, it's just that the bazilian people crammed into the small space didn't leave any spare seats for the non-believers. Regardless I took my coffee to go and found another wifi spot (hence my connection now). Despite the chaos the service was great and the drink was what I anticipated. The place seemed to be very reasonable price-wise. I will be re-reviewing once I get the opportunity to come back, relax, order some food, and really give the place a chance.

  This is another local place in El Paso that I like to support from time to time. It's not much, but it is a nice place to get some espresso and a decent sandwich (I like the BLT) while you watch people go by on the street (big windows, nice view, lots of light).
  
  Somethings that pass for art are on the wall, there are lots of couches, chairs, and tables.  A chess board.  Free wi-fi.  And BEER!  If you work near downtown, it's worth a visit.  
  
  They are missing Jarritos, which should be a given for a sandwich shop this close to the border.

  I don't like to order food that I can easily make on my own, so I was somewhat disappointed with my sandwich and bag of chips.  It was good, but not great and basically lacked that oomph that says damn good sandwich.  Lunch for two (with coke and burnt cappuccino) was just under $20.  I'll probably go again but I don't think I'll seek it out.
  
  Hours are Mon-Thur 8am-8pm and Fri 8am-midnight.... so get rid of those cravings for a Thursday night beer.
