Pretty new coffee shop. I have only been once, but the coffee was good. I thought it was a bit pricey. They have a nice patio space and never looks too crowded.

This park is predominantly used for tennis and for kids activities, but it is also a connector park for a new running trail. The start is very close to your room and I can go into further details if you wish to explore the area via these trails!
