I enjoyed getting coffee in Francesca's for the past few years, although the place seems to be overrun with Duke students studying for exams and taking all the booths. Still,the location is hard to beat and the spacious and quirky interior, delicious deserts, and good coffee more than compensate for somewhat slow service. Thus, I was saddened to learn that the august Ninth Street establishment is now for sale. Although I am not sure whether the owners' reasons are personal or financial, here is to hoping that whoever buys the place will preserve its charm rather than dismantle it.
