RBC boast neutral shades and a Portland feel. The staff was young and friendly and mainly male. There is one long communal table in the middle of the room and few seats at a bar in the window and a couple of chairs in the corner. It didn't have a "hang here" kind of vibe. There is an enormous flat screen hanging between exposed brick walls that was set on CNBC.
Crafted in Seattle, the $18,000 Slayer espresso machine wasn't a beauty. I was kind of expecting it to be tall and gold and pretty....
It did, however, produce a lovely Americano. Pretty large size too for under $3.
The menu offers sandwiches from Zabar's, pastries from Bouchon Bakery, and cookies from Downtown Cookie Co.
I would go back....
