Kohi No Deshi

Cafe$

The contrast between these conjoined coffee shops is as plain as black and white. Tiny Disciple is a calm den of dark wood and minimalist design dedicated to black coffee. Espresso and V60 pour-overs are priced from $5 to north of $100 for those who really want to nerd out over premium Panama Geisha. If it’s a flat white you’re after, head next door for milk-friendly blends and single-origins in a lighter, brighter setting.

Best for: Exceptional coffee with a side of chat.
