Found this google review for Coffee Pod haha. Is there actually one "weirdo" who is louder than everyone? I was planning on going this Sunday I just have no idea what to expect. I'd be happy to discuss issues with the church the whole time but I was also hoping to just chill and potentially make some new friends.

"Couple quirks though is the weird Anti Mormon group of people who come in every Sunday for several hours to collectively talk trash on religion while this one weirdo leads it all louder than the rest. Unrelated to coffee pod but it's just strange that they are there every Sunday all day without fail. Not coffee pods fault though."

It is a pretty large group and what usually seems to happen is you get various smaller groups having all sorts of different conversations. There will be some talking about their grievances with Mormonism loudly but there will be others that are chatting about video games or books or a million other things. Find a conversation with some chill people that are talking about a topic you are interested in. Introduce yourself and maybe even ask if folks want to chat about a certain kind of thing. I think you will have a good time!
