Technically a coffee shop but that's way too simple a description. Funky, artsy, live music. Daytime for coffee. Evenings for wine and music. Grab a Seven Days or or a copy of War & Peace and spend the day. Talk to people. Hang out. Don't be intimidated by the sheer coolness of the place. You are way cool enough. Besides not being cool is only a different form of cool.
