So you've heard "friends don't let friends go to Starbucks"?
Well, Il Piccolo is one of the reasons that saying was created.

Il Piccolo is the *real deal*. Exposed brick, barn board tables, and wooden chairs that are real, not bought from Ikea. The mocha drinks are great and generous, the pastries and deserts tasty and fresh, and the paninni sandwiches are great. The staff is really friendly and the atmosphere is great. There is a Santa Cruz cafe has the slogan "Relax. You have plenty of time." Il Piccolo is the equivalent of that on this side of the summit. Free wifi, but even if you had to pay for it it would be worth it. I agree, avoid the Coffee Siren across the street. - Unsubscribed , posted 04/17/05

Excuse me while I gush...
...about my hometown cafe, Il Piccolo, which is still going strong even though a Starbuck's opened across the street a year ago. (snarl!) The staff are friendly and laid-back. They sell great personal travel cups. The desserts are delivered fresh every day and I'm stuck in a chocolate-croissant rut. They also offer free wireless internet! So don't listen to the coffee siren. Go hang out at Il Piccolo. - Polly , posted 10/21/04
