Caffeine nerds rejoice: this hipster coffee house digs deep with single-origin beans sourced from El Salvador, Ethiopia and Indonesia, among others, and offers all the usual barista-focused preparation methods such as V60, Chemex, Aeropress and also makes a mean cortado and flat white. In cooler months, there's a lovely back patio. In summer, go for the cold brew.
