Flavorful house drinks like the spicy Inca Mocha and the pistachio-and-cinnamon Lebanese Blonde set this bustling coffee shop apart from competitors. Pair your latte with a spinach ricotta croissant and stick around to appreciate the local art and crafts on display and for sale.
The drinks extend beyond coffee at this attractive, airy spot for a pick-me-up, from turmeric to matcha lattes, where the sign on the wall reads "Death Before Decaf." There's a small selection of scones and muffins and plenty of room to kick back and work for a while.
There's a line out the door during summer for this bakery's "Apple Uglies," fried amalgams of doughnut dough and apples. There's also a full menu of breakfast burritos and egg sandwiches to enjoy on the patio out front.
