Description

Recognizable by the scooter in the front window, this pint-sized cafe serves up hot and cold teas, sandwiches, and fresh pastries alongside its espresso. Indoor seating is at a premium, limited to bar stools, two tables, and a window counter facing University Place. Because of the tight quarters, it operates mostly as a takeaway-leaning spot, though sidewalk seating offers a place to linger in good weather.
