A friend suggested we meet for coffee here this morning. Even after navigating the steep 7th Street entrance, I am glad she shared this great find. Apparently, this is a neighborhood place with its own cast of regulars. Everyone seemed to know one another, and the vibe was really friendly. The décor is unique. One side has this cozy, home-like feel with a wall of art and comfy chairs. Closer to the entrance is a more utilitarian vibe. I found myself humming along to the background music and feeling really comfortable while I waited. It was hot, so I opted for an iced tea with my perfectly toasted bagel. It was really, really hard to ignore the case full of incredible-looking pastries. The staff was friendly and efficient, especially the barista who had a wicked sense of humor. Good food, drinks, and atmosphere. I'll be back. read more
