Very cute & cozy coffee shop that everybody loves...which might be why it's not my favorite spot. That being said, great pour-over selection, features curated interior design, & is ranked the best coffee store downtown. One downside is it's almost always crowded (limited seating, very narrow store).

Feeling South-Eastern Asian Noodles? My favorite noodle spot that is not "ramen". Great Singaporean/Malaysian curry-based selections. Try the Chiang Mai.
