Check out the Pig. It has amazing food and an outdoor patio that can't be beat in the warmer months. The food is always healthy and fresh. The baristas are really friendly and give really friendly service. I...

This is a coffee shop that has character in spades!! I usually order espresso drinks, and have never been disappointed here, unlike some of the chain coffee shops who usually make weak espresso.

Even if you never eat a bite of food at the Bourgeois Pig, it's worth going for the cool, slanted-attic atmosphere. Head upstairs for the coziest study space in the world. If you do get hungry, the…
