Okay, okay. 5 stars! I was going to settle for 4 stars but honestly this has been my go-to spot for years now. Quick service, drinks made super speedy (although all I ever get here is my usual Jasmine Green Tea and coffee jelly), TONS of seating, and the atmosphere (80% of the time depending what time you go) is perfect for studying.
I always go from 9p-2am as many nights as I can. I'll either plan to meet a friend up there or go on a whim. After ordering I'll post up, get my laptop out, plug it up into one of the many outlet plugs on the floor, wall, or extension cord. There has NEVER been a time that I've come to HTH and not have an outlet to plug my charger in. There's literally one floor-port for every table. I've got an old MacBook with an old battery so having a charging station is IMPERATIVE for my laptop to operate to its fullest potential. As far as wi-fi, with every purchase, you can ask them for the wi-fi password. There are other routes to getting access to wi-fi but I'll leave that out. HTH offers wi-fi and it's public for customers as long as you make a purchase, let's just leave it at that!
Parking is always spacious. There's generally some pretty terrible parkers but just a few spots down is more space or you can parallel park along side the Dunvale side of HTH.
If there had to be a downside to HTH, it'll have to be that darn smoothie blender machine. LOUDEST kitchen appliance I've ever heard. I've combated this issue by plugging in my headphones, maxing out the volume, and drowning any other sound so i can focus on my work (which I do regardless while studying!). The noise level isn't quiet unless it starts winding down to the late hours and the preteens/high schoolers have to go to bed soon.
The other downside would be if you sit too close to the side-door that leads to the patio, you'll often times get a whiff of the disgusting smoke smell from the cigarette fans that post up outside. I'm biased, I hate smoking. How to combat? Just don't sit close to that door. Easy.
My favorite study spot. Hands down. The only place I know that is open regularly until 2am which fits perfectly into my study schedule.
