Coffee Shops and Bakeries

Glorious caffeine. But cafes are good for more than just a cup of jo. They're good areas to catch up with friends, grab a quick bite, study, or surf the web (as many offer free WiFi). This section is dedicated to establishments that focus primarily on coffee, tea, espresso, and baked goods, but may also include counter-service food items like soups and sandwiches. Obviously, coffee and other morning beverages are available at any breakfast restaurant as well.
