Hipster coffee joint with 2nd-hand decor in a not-so-well-lit space, so atmosphere is lacking, IMHO. BUT coffee is great, place is large, you can hang for a long time and there is outdoor seating!

Yes, there's a Target in walking distance! They are the closest grocery store, too. Also a clinic, optical shop, etc. for emergencies. Nice walk along blvd., then just a bit of ick under the highway.
