    The White Hart is more of a pub atmosphere than a coffee shop, despite the sign in the back proclaiming coffee to be the drink of intellectuals. I like the earthy feel of the place.

    This small coffee shop in downtown Hopkinton does not sport a public restroom unless you sweet talk the server. I was initally pointed towards a line of portable toilets that stood outside but with some pleasant conversation I was allowed to use the restroom. I was also told that their coffee was good, but I didn’t have any.

    This has been my least favorite restroom so far. It had a smell and was in a general state of disarray. I did like how the mens room key was a piece of metal with duct tape on it and a sharpie. That was enjoyable, but I have to say that I did not use this facility in any other way than the lights and the mirror.
