From the message of peace posted on a blackboard outside to its funky red lighting, and its wooden bar with glowing crystals, to its crowd that looks like something out of the 60s (I was waiting for Billy Jack to walk in) I was taken back for a moment. But after one sip I was a believer again. Peace, love and java baby.
