If you're a coffee nerd looking for the greatest cup of black coffee in this town, go here. Yes that's a bold statement, and several others are also really good (namely OCJ/Wild Love and Partial Cafe to round out my top 3), but that special machine that does single cup/single origin coffees really brings out the flavor and prevents any unwanted bitter notes on every coffee I've tried, and I'm well into the double digits of trying different selections this way.

Free parking is possible on the side street, but I highly recommend just living within...
