Cameron’s Coffee & Chocolates

Everyone knows there’s nothing quite like pairing coffee and chocolate, which is one of the reasons why this place is so fantastic.

Not only are the products here amazing, but so are the people behind them!

29th Parallel Coffee

This neighborhood cafe is a great place to study, relax, or come together with friends. Getting coffee here is always unique, thanks to their many methods of making it, including the visually fascinating siphon bar and the old-fashioned techniques of pour-over and Chemex. They also have a seasonal menu that lets you treat yourself with drinks like the pumpkin affogato in fall.

Gathering Grounds Cafe

Don’t forget to add this little charming spot to your list! They serve Red Rooster Coffee, which is locally roasted, and they use it to make a whole range of tasty coffee drinks, including delicious chai lattes. As well as a cafe, this place is a patisserie, making it a great spot for baked goodies and light meals. Their free Wi-Fi also means you’ll feel welcome to stay a little longer.
