Like a poster above mentioned, I will leave a larger tip for the staff at my regular spot and wish them a happy holidays so they know why the gratuity would be a big bigger than normal.
This is a special one off and would not consider anywhere else. When I walk in the staff greet me and my better half by name, we engage with them on a personal level and know many of their stories as they do ours.
Sadly places like this don't last forever in my city and there is a rezoning application for their building and adjoining building. Likely to turn in to a condo soon. Good people will be without work and I will be without a friendly local.
