5 minute walk away, but Shhh...! Don't let the mobs know, but the coffee here is swoon-worthy! Take it from a coffee snob, this is THE place to buy your coffee. Only open on the weekends till 2pm. It's best go early as they can sell out. There is a coffee tasting bar to tide you over while you wait to place your order. All menu items are good, and the staff are super friendly. I am a fan of the avocado toast with bacon, and if they aren't out, the cardamom rolls may make you melt into a little puddle of happiness.

Fun atmosphere, excellent food (try the fry bread) and beverages. Great for lunch, dinner, and late dinner.

Iconic coffee shop famous for their pie. Still one of the old coffee shops that has not succumbed to a new modernized do over. It's like a that friendly warm sweater you still have. You know, that one that has some pilling but you just love wearing anyway. Good coffee, good food, good tables for laptops. If you see a pie you like, get a piece the first time you order. It might be gone when you decide to go back!

10 minute walk to the base of Mt. Tabor Park. So much to explore. Wind your way through tall trees, hike the flights of old stairs, lunch in an open grassy area, watch the sunset from the top, or play a game of tennis. Check the calendar for summer concerts and other events.
