Kiva Han • Oakland-Craig Street • Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Today I decided to try Kiva Han for the first time in over a year. The last few times I went there I was confronted with poor service, and therefore stopped going there, until now. With Mega (the clever blogger over at Rick's Cafe Americain) I visited Kiva Han.

The space is open and artsy, with flyers around. They make the place seem artsy and liberal, but like all businesses they do support the corporate. Our clutches contained advertisements for Sprint. I personally believe they do the artsy thing to compete with the Starbucks across the street. They have a lot of seating available, in three different areas, making it an ideal place for studying or a meeting. If I had the time, I would certainly would've liked to have the time to sit down and study.

Mega and I were impressed with the customer service. Mega was swiftly served his cappuccino, and my vanilla soy latte was up moments later. I was pleased with the blend of vanilla and espresso, it was the perfect balance. No complaints from Mega on his cappuccino either. I was impressed.

Whether it's a new staff or we just got lucky, I was impressed with Kiva Han. We got excellent drinks in no time, and I think I will go back again.

5 beans!
