Cafe$

The local roaster’s newest location is a clubby den of dark timber and soft light. Fuel up with egg breakfasts on soda bread, or head to the filter bar for single origin specials and sommelier-style service. Need more kicks? The Smoky is made with cold filter, mezcal, raspberry and elderflower.
