It seems like the trend with coffee shops is to be dark. Most of them anyway. You think about the vibe inside of Starbucks and it is always dark woods.

Lots of windows to watch passers-by on Broughton Street. Oh yeah, the coffee is great as well. Beans roasted in house so you can even buy a bag and take it home with you. Click here for more
