Go to King Street - the part that runs through Old Town - and turn onto South Patrick Street. If you don't see it you are blind, stupid or both.

Summary
An artsy coffee shop.
Specialties
Small cups of coffee and pretension.

Doesn't Americano mean Generic Coffee? I thought that was the snide Starbucks stab at it's mother country, taking our cheese tradition and running with it. But when I ordered an American here, they asked me what kind of beans I wanted. And my answer ("Surprise me") didn't go over too well. And then it took forever to make and it was a goddamn half a dixie cup, which Matt said in his review too, but damn it... Everything about this place is too cute, it induces crawling. Bah! I guess it's artsy... well, I don't know art, but I know what I like. This place wishes so hard that it could be Starbucks all the while thumbing its nose at the corporate franchise mentality of said coffee shop. And yet, even though Starbucks is overpriced, I can get more then a Dixie cup of coffee for $2.60 there. They are so proud of this fact, their webpage harps and harps on it.
By the way, Mishas closes at 8 PM. 8 PM closing for a coffee house! That is so fucking lame! I've been reduced to using base vulgarities!
