Kollective Coffee+Tea

$$

This third-wave downtown coffee and teahouse could have been plucked from Portland or San Francisco. The nitro cold brew on draft and other coffee options are all made with single origin beans, and nearly everything on the menu is organic or natural and locally sourced. Build your own bagel, or try one of the "healthyish" breakfast/brunch options, available all day. There are also delicious soups, salads, and sandwiches with something for every dietary restriction.
