Coffee Shop Restaurants

  1. A

    Ya Kun Kaya Toast

    Though a large chain of Ya Kun outlets has spread across the island, this is by far the most atmospheric and the closest to the original. It’s packed with office workers during the week; try to get an inside table to watch the brusque staff in action. Polite they are not, but at least they won’t tell you to have a nice day, or ask if you want fries with that.

    Kopi, a Traveler’s Cafe

    Kopi wafts an Asian trekker-lodge vibe, from the pile of pillows to sit on by the front window to the bean-sprouty sandwiches, lefty clientele and flyer-filled community bulletin board. The little shop in back sells travel books and fair-trade global gifts. Wine goes down the hatch for half price on Wednesdays.

    Cafe Jumping Bean

    This ramshackle cafe will make you feel like a regular as soon as you step through the door. It serves excellent hot focaccia sandwiches, baked goods and strong coffee to the 20- and 30-something crowd of MFA-wielding local bohemians. Chess and domino games are always breaking out here, and the comfy confines make it an excellent spot for whiling away a couple of hours with a mocha, soaking up Pilsen’s colorful surroundings.

    Society

    A sleek, brick-walled, wooden-table-filled coffee shop that's a popular Harlem hangout, especially among young students who make liberal use of its free wi-fi. The weekend brunches are a madhouse; at quieter times you can sit for hours sipping your latte or glass of wine and nibble on all sorts of cakes and snacks while soaking in the relaxed, comforting ambience.

    Bourgeois Pig

    An old-style coffee shop with big, creaking wooden tables and chairs, the Pig serves strong java and whopping sandwiches. It’s a convivial place to grab a bite while working through the newspaper or chatting with friends. Tea drinkers and vegetarians will find many options on offer.

    First Slice Cafe

    Located in the Water Works Visitors Center, First Slice not only serves made-from-scratch soups, salads, quiches, sandwiches and eight different flaky-crusted pies daily, but proceeds help supply needy local families with healthy meals. So you’re doing good by eating well.

  7. Gathering Grounds Cafe

    Sip a civilized cup o' Joe, nibble a scone and surf the net.
