Known forspecialty coffeelocal roasterlaptop friendly
Directions

A serious specialty roaster with a bright, industrial-chic space that draws coffee nerds and remote workers alike. Their single-origin pour-overs and rotating seasonal espresso drinks are the highlights. The beans are roasted in-house and the staff can speak intelligently about origin and process. Can get crowded on weekend mornings and seating fills up fast.
