Best coffee in town (they use Tandem Roasters). This is more of a to-go place but they do have some breakfast and lunch options! It is also super close to the house and you may cut through walkway directly across the top of Howard St.

AMAZING COOKIES. Located just around the corner from the house. It’s a very fun experience, with a new lineup of 3 cookies each weekend. They’re only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Sunday morning they do ‘Good morning Chubbies’ breakfast food and coffee.
