Must order: Cold brew and whatever pastry is left in the case

Insider tip: Arrive before 8:00 AM on Saturdays to bypass the queue — the pastry case is picked clean by 10.

A narrow, plant-filled room on Main Street that takes espresso as seriously as the galleries next door take their art. No laptop farms, no 4,000-calorie novelty drinks — just precise coffee, a short breakfast menu, and a pastry case that operates on a strict first-come basis.

The cold brew is the summer order; it holds its structure over ice instead of going watery and sour like the drive-thru stuff.

When to go: weekday mornings are serene. Saturday is a scene by 9:00 AM, which is either the appeal or the warning, depending on your temperament.
