Bars, Clubs & Coffeehouses: Coffeehouses

A cafe specializing in good food and good ingredients, locally sourced and organic whenever possible. All baked goods are made fresh daily, by Pastry Chef Tom Purtill.

Thanks to its location, this incarnation of the Espresso Roma chain transcends chain. Occupying the entire corner of Ashby and College avenues, the site is like a cafe village. In the main serving area, there are a plethora of copper-topped tables. A well-situated bar serves beers on tap and Salmon Creek wine. A separate room with free wi-fi provides a quiet workspace. The extensive menu includes many pizza and salad choices, hot and cold sandwiches, baked potatoes, pastries, desserts, and a wide a selection of Fair Trade coffee drinks. On the other hand, it must be said that sometimes the brusque service here falls just short of surly, and the coffee doesn’t garner rave reviews from customers. Still, this is an excellent place to meet a friend for lunch or to enjoy the prime view of passersby while lingering over the New York Times crossword puzzle.

Tools

This tea shop offers a wide variety of tea and related accessories. Far Leaves stocks single estate, loose leaf teas from around the world. The service is friendly and focuses on the rituals and traditions associated with tea. Far Leaves is a great place to sit, sip, and talk. No wi-fi.

Located in a roomy corner location between Elmwood and campus, it didn't take long for Sack's to become a veritable study hall for caffeine- and wi-fi-reliant college students. They come for the good coffee and tea, menu of bagel sandwiches, free wi-fi, and, most especially, a seat and table to sit. And sit. If it's midterm season, you may need luck grabbing one of your own.
