This place has become one of our favorites to hit on the way back from the Metroplex. Pay at the pump. Great selection of watches. Mario always greets us with a smile and a, "How was tonight's show?" Just the kind of boost you need to keep you rollin' along. Capuccino machine could be a bonus, but Fritz says the output from it doesn't really resemble capuccino as he knows it. The kicker: best decorated unisex bathroom I've seen anywhere. Nice hotel-quality art on the walls. Matching tank and sink cozies hiding all that unsightly plumbing. One suggestion: get a towel dispenser. That 1/2-watt hand dryer just doesn't cut it when you are in a hurry.
