Slogan:
They have a philosophy, instead of a slogan.
From their website:
"Philosophy. We are not trying to be “all things to all people” we just want to be a place where we would want to come to! We focus on creating a warm, friendly, casual atmosphere and promote courtesy and mutual respect for and from our customers and our staff. We like being a little bit silly, eagerly launch into geeky banter, and strive to enjoy making great coffee as much as our customers enjoy drinking it."
