You'll find a wonderful Second Cup Kiosk in a prime spot ( located on the 2nd floor of the library )offering a latte that is simply divine in flavor.

Lovely staff. When I ordered a kids hot chocolate, they offered to make it lukewarm, which was a nice touch! They were sweet with my daughter while also providing fast service.
