This is one of the city’s first (and our personal favorite) on the coffeehouse scene. Coffee, both plain and in its multiple new forms, is augmented by a menu of baked goods and sandwiches, even wine. There’s an occasional poetry reading or casual performance. The walls are home to displays by local artists, and the exhibits have grown in quality and importance over the years. It’s usually open until 1 a.m. Cozy and a good peoplewatching spot. The outdoor tables are particularly popular when the weather allows. Bring your laptop.
