I don’t think they have the best seating (though they’ve done what they can with their small space) or the best food options, but if you’re just looking for coffee this is a great...

This coffee spot is in the foyer of a tattoo shop and was a little off putting when we arrived. My bestie ordered a coffee and I ordered a hot chocolate — no hot sleeves, no napkins available.
