Trade and Lore is a hidden gem! Like really... an actual hidden gem. The front door opens to a staircase you take to the second floor, where you are welcomed with a homey open space and groovy vibes.
I had no idea what to order so I asked the dude what he recommends and he was hyping up the drinks and asked me what I preferred. Super nice guy, I wish I knew his name to give him a shoutout, but all I can remember is he was wearing a shirt with cacti on it. I chose his personal favorite, Pistachio and Rosewater Latte. I got it hot, but I tried it cold too and I actually like it cold better. The nodes are a little bit stronger when it's cold. The latte art is pretty on point compared to other coffee shops!
There's plenty of space for collabs and study sessions for anyone who needs it. It's clean and totally hipster, aka my dream coffee shop.
