The Refuge is my favorite neighborhood coffee stop. Very spacious with a completely relaxing atmosphere and friendly, laid back staff. You instantly feel like part of a family in this place. Great collection of local art, moody lighting, relaxing furniture, and chill beats makes it hard to want to ever leave The Refuge. Oh, and the coffee is great too, with several interesting combos. Try the Haboob!
I've had breakfast and lunch here and each time is was delicious. The pulled pork tacos are the best pork tacos I have had.
I also like that the beer and wine bar element is geared to a classy crowd without the classy prices. This makes for my top choice spot to take clients on business meetings. It's not formal or stuffy or fake like some Starbucks tend to come off as. You must visit The Refuge, especially since they have happy hour every day!
