One block away from my house. I usually get kheema lamb and their chai tea to-go. Their chai is delicious and potent, so I save the tea for breakfast the next morning.

Two blocks away from my place. They simply are the nicest folks and are passionate about ingredients and community. They use local plants and herbs in their gin and on-tap cocktails. The drinks are super affordable, as well!

Best Espresso
If you can get Travis, the owner, to make you an 8 or 12 oz latte, you need to. He makes the best micro-foam there is.

Coppa is an ice cream shop/coffee shop/cafe. They have very high standards for their espresso shots. If you normally drink plain coffee, get an americano from them instead - delish!
