Editorial Review for Spider House Patio Bar & Cafe – by Tara Fatemi
In Short
Some consider this a people-watching paradise. A mix of mostly young people, from university students to slackers to professionals. Students come to get wired and study; others come to relax and drink a bottle of beer and munch on a basic menu of Mexican food and baked goods. Choose from comfortable tables and booths inside or grab a picnic table on the patio amid the palms, plants and strings of colorful lights and lanterns.

Great place to have a nice evening drinking coffee or tea! My boyfriend and I love this place--but Thursday nights are a nightmare. I have never had a problem with customer service or a rude waitstaff.
Pros: Chai tea
Cons: parking

I used to frequent Spiderhouse all the time, but not anymore because the service has really gone downhill. One time my boyfriend and I went there to get coffee. We waited around for about 15 minutes before he decided to just go in and get coffee from the bar. While he was gone, this really creepy waiter guy came up to me, got down on one knee and said "Can I get you anything, angel?" I didn't know how to react. I still love their food and drinks, just order at the bar and save yourself the hassle of trying out their waitstaff.
Pros: close to campus, good food and drink
Cons: hipster staff
