Give me a break

by justalittlewicked

Ran is a nice guy, but the best coffee in town??? Not by a long shot.He just happens to be convenient as well as bein a nice guy. Pleeeeaase. He has a captive audience being the only coffee shop in Austin Diagnostic Medical Center which houses a ton of employees plus all the visitors. He very likely told everyone in the building to go on the web and vote for him.

It's in a hospital

by surfguido

I met Ran and he is an extremely nice person, with great service. What I did not realize his coffee shop is a stand located in a hospital in North Austin. I'm sure Ran would agree that if he is serious about coffee, he would minimally move out of the hospital. As is now (minus exceptional service), there is not a whole lot to compare with corporate hated Starbucks or Dunkin Donut's in the northeast.

• Pros: Ran is Great, Service is good
• Cons: Beans are average, It's in a hospital, It's a stand!

The Absolute Best

by AJP69

At both locations, the staff is awesome. They all remember the name of regulars, what they order, etc. Ran is like a good friend, shrink and bartender for everyone. The other employees of this family business are just as great, also. As the other reviewers mentioned, he will make you a perfect cup no matter what it is you like - Chai, Mocha, plain coffee or some custom concoction...ask Ran for an FP for an over-the-top treat!

• Pros: Awesome Service, Spectacular Product
• Cons: Too many people go to, places like Starbucks, ...
