      <![CDATA[The very apotheosis of horrible customer service!  I will never countenance another visit to this lousy establishment.  In trying to purchase a latte, I was very rudely informed that I would have to eat outside after the barista spotted my lunch (I was on my way to work, and had brought food for my meal (trust me when I assure you that I would not have wanted to linger any longer than necessary in such poor company!)).  I then went to pay, only to be informed that there was a $5 minimum purchase.  Whereas days prior, the same transactions would have yielded only snotty looks and an elaborate spiel about a transaction fee, I was brusquely dismissed!  The last in a too-long line of desperately unpleasant interactions, I have had it.  I am only glad that I subsequently discovered a much more genial and obliging coffee shop staff only blocks away that will, from now on, receive all of my business.  Shame on you, Palio!

      <![CDATA[The food is beyond fantastic - decadent and local.  Enormous cakes, buttery savory tarts, and piping hot drinks.<br>
The mood here is very conversational and laid-back.  Every time I come, there's an interesting conversation going on between the baristas and customers, and anyone is welcome to join in.  Last time I came, I joined a math teacher in reciting poetry.

      <![CDATA[This is such a comfortable little neighborhood spot. I love how hidden away it is. I would almost feel like I&#39;m intruding on someone&#39;s private hangout except the people are pretty welcoming.

      <![CDATA[The brownies at this place are incredible&mdash;and Palio&#39;s got an otherwise impressive dessert selection, too. 

It&#39;s a cozy atmosphere perfect for studying, reading, or playing a game of scrabble&mdash;but it can get crowded quickly, as one of the few coffee shops open later. 

(oh, and the coffee&#39;s good, too!)
