I recall it having something to do with trying to resurrect the "old fashioned" coffee shop where people weren't looking at screens but rather talking to each other. Kind of a cool concept, but not the best place to work...unless you're distracted by the internet and don't need it to do you work.

In any case though, the coffee there is supposed to be delicious, they have some sort of fancy process they use to brew it. One cup at a time or something.
Astro = Elitist coffee. Not having wireless is just one example, they also have one "community" table and a few tiny tables, so no where to sit even if you wanted to! And everyone in there seems to be friends, so you'd be interrupting in their scene time. Plus, its four dollars for a tiny cup of coffee that takes forever to make. Might be a good concept in a coffee rich city such as San Francisco, but not Detroit.
