Go home dude and make your own. For the record, I am some old white guy, but I would never try and write up a coffee shop without taking a minute to actually get in a dang conversation with some of the entities therein. Greenline, Satellite, hey, if you're stuck in the wrong place, gimme a starbucks... it's all caffeine, gentlemen. cheers mcget Well, geez, there might be a coffee hang cool enough for this reviewer… but man, I’d never be allowed in the door.

People see what they want to see. If you all actually spent time there you would see the reality of who goes there. I am sorry that the Green Line doesnt play a staedy music diet of Black Flag. There are probably times that I dont like the music that is being played, but there are times that I do, not to mention a purposeful attempt to highlight local music. I think you defining the Green Line clients as breeders seems to state that The Green Line is lacking in queer culture. Again you see what you want. If I were to walk into the Satelite and someone annoys me, I would not go off and write a review stating how other shops are better because folks dont act as bad as the Satelite folks do. If you want to do a review on the Green Line, do a review. Talk as much trash as you want to but actually spend time there so see what goes on. There is no reason to do it on a review of another coffee shop, not to mention starting some type of fued. Its immature and unecessary. It seems that you are extremely biased in this review. The Green Line Cafe has done more for this neighborhood than you can imagine. Thay work on a cooperative that makes sure the coffee goes to support the growers who make it. They put money out of thier pocket to host local shows for two years. They donate to countless organizatons. They employ many artist and musicians. I like the Satelite. I like the owners. They are good folks who do great things in the neighborhood. I know many folks who go there on a regular basis. I just dont see the need to trash the Green Line cafe based on a very limited and biased perspective, especially since the review is not even about the cafe. I challenge you to actually spend some time at the cafe and do a real review. I do not understand why in reviewing the Satelite Shop you have to talk negative about the Green Line.

It was a strange experience not because it failed to meet any of my expectations, the tableau being meticulously crafted over what I am told was an interminable stint. It was more strange because I felt that I had already been there, as if I were the pro that Thos. clearly is. This perceived facility only served to position me as a fool in the place, not knowing what to order, what size to order, what vessel to request, how to pay, etc. The barista whom I mistakenly pegged as being from Mississippi was clearly annoyed and I was embarassed for myself. It was the sort of feeling someone who has played Doom for the entirety of their freshman year of college probably faces when they actually end up on Mars confronted with the armies of Satan, one of misplaced confidence and competence that quickly erodes when the reality of the situation hits and you end up as a stain on a wall. That is, however, an inaccurate comparison, because I do in fact know how to order coffee and I do it in reality quite often. I guess I just expected Thos. to hold my dick for me while I ordered.
