Noshing/Sipping:  Muffins, cinnamon rolls, sandwiches, soups and soft drinks are also available.  Great selection of espressos and coffees; Pumpkin Spice lattes are a big draw.

Bonus:  Named after Kaity Rawson's dog, Clancy, the architecture, décor and light, airy feel of Clancy's Coffee is worth a visit.  Artwork by Lisa Brown adorns the walls.  Baristas are polite and very knowledgeable.  The mocha I had was superb.
