A great little coffee shop with an outdoor dog friendly patio area, good karma and great coffee. The store has a selection of pasties, including Gluten free options and all the usual coffee and tea selections. If you need to have a meeting, they have plenty of electrical outlets for your laptop. If you enjoy drinking vast amounts of coffee then the $2 bottomless house coffee is for you. Like to read the paper, a large selection is available including the New Yorker, Sunday New York Times and more. Check out their website for upcoming events. Great spot to meet clients.

This is a different kind of coffee shop with very unique waiters. It is quite busy so probably not a great place to try to have a business meeting, but lots of fun with friends and out of town guests. If you are offended by drag queens then this is not the place for you. It has a fun and upbeat atmosphere and great coffee. They serve breakfast, lunch and are famous for their weekend brunch.
