101 Lounge looks like a smallish, modern, clean cafe when you first walk in but take the stairs just to the right of the door and enjoy a beautiful seating area with big windows over looking downtown, couches, and small tables. The coffee was good but I was disappointed that they didn't have biscuits (were on the menu) nor did they have hot tea.
But the biggest negative for me was 3 big screen TV's in the otherwise cool and trendy upstairs area. Its bad enough that every bar in town has a TV running all hours. A cafe should be about connecting with the people you came with in good conversation, not getting sucked into an infomercial with the sound off. The barista did a fine job with my drink though so I'll be back (but I'll be packing my TV-B-Gone :) )
