Coffee Stroll

This is where the island’s coffee obsessives end up, and once you taste the pour over you’ll understand why they’re smug about it. The beans are handled with actual care, not just dumped through a machine, and it shows in everything from the espresso to the matcha. If your idea of a good morning is sitting somewhere slow, unbothered, with a dog or three wandering past your table, this is your spot. Order the avocado toast or the chicken pesto sandwich, both hold their own against the coffee, which is saying something. The sourdough bread meals are solid and the cookies are the kind you think about later that day. Breakfast menu is compact rather than sprawling, so don’t come expecting twelve variations on eggs. The catch: service slows to a crawl once the place fills up, and 40-50 minute waits happen at peak hours. This is not a grab-and-go counter, so if you need caffeine in five minutes, walk somewhere else. Go for a slow morning with nowhere to be, order a pour over, and let the dogs sort out the rest of your day for you.
