My favorite spots for coffee, work, and relaxation

My favorite coffee shop, highly recommend the cream tops. Banana coffee is the best here, and there are a wide variety of other specialty coffee options. Limited seating both indoors and outdoors, but are at good heights for work sessions. Parking out front is limited but there is a side lot with a slightly longer walk.

The best bang for your buck matchas, highly recommend the banana pudding matcha. Seating is pretty limited and tables are short so this is more of a cafe run than a study cafe. Very limited space inside while waiting for drinks. Also parking here is a nightmare -- try going around the back.

Gatekept classic, iced banana latte is second only to Caffe In's. Plenty of indoor seating for work sessions. Parking garage outside does charge for parking but they validate for one hour -- if you're nice, you can get two hours.

Best 'light' coffee -- if you're looking for something with minimal coffee aftertaste the volcano latte here is the drink you're looking for. Super smooth all the way down. Parking will most likely be street parking unless you're lucky enough to get into one of the nearby lots, but expect a short walk to the cafe. Spacious inside and plenty of good seats for work sessions.
