Personally, I haven't eaten here but my husband has and he insists that it is good. I drop in here quite regularily for a latte and it is excellent. Our kids beg to stop and Being There because there are board games available to play for free. On the weekends there is a live band, which I think is a great touch. An overall quaint coffee house that a refreshing change from the Starbucks of the world.    [02 Feb 2006 17:36:12]

Being There is a wonderful place to get coffee from and a bite to eat. They have an awesome ultimate grilled cheese! It's super tasty, you definitely have to try it. They have all sorts of fun flavors for lattes, locally roasted coffee, board games, and just an overall comfortable, friendly environment. The staff is very easy to get along with and the manager, Kara, is super nice.    [17 Apr 2007 18:38:15]

Unique & Funky
I'm a big fan of their lattes and the fact that Being there is a wonderful little local gathering place. The decor is funky and intelligent, qualities that the staff also embody. I like to stop by for an occasional cuppa joe and good conversation. My kids like the magnetic poetry on the old fridge door, and we all appreciate the laid-back atmosphere. Their home-cooked Saturday breakfasts are highly recommended. I'm happy to support a locally owned business, especially one that is intelligently run by a friendly owner and happy employees.    [10 May 2008 19:24:42]
