Coffee geeks flock to Cognoscenti, a clean, bright, contemporary cafe showcasing a rotating cast of specialty micro-roasters such as San Francisco's Ritual and Portland's Heart. Brewing methods span espresso, filter and V60 pour over, and you'll also find cold-pressed juices and decent pastries. Seating is limited to a communal table, a handful of window-counter seats and a small outdoor area.
Popular with the mobile-office crowd.
