| - This place has great coffee, if you can find it. Back in the corner of the plaza between a vape shop and an electronics store is Kaldi's- more like a neighborhood convenience store inside than a typical coffee shop, but coffee is their specialty. All of the staff and much of their clientele is from Ethiopia, and they exclusively use Ethiopian beans.
Menu is small, with a variety of coffee and teas, some bottled juices and sodas, and a limited selection of store-bought pastries, but they newly introduced sandwiches made to order. You really can't go wrong with the coffee, though- my vanilla latte was strong enough to power me through a workout and then even keep me up late, and my guy enjoyed the Americano I surprised him with.
Service gets better each time I go in and I like that their hours are consistent- open daily from 9AM to 9PM. In addition to the food and drink, they have a small pharmacy section and a selection of gifts. I always grab my order to go, but they have a couple of tables both inside and out. Hoping this spot has enough coffee-loving regulars to stick around despite the hidden location- I was stunned to hear they've already been open 6 months!
