Solo Espresso

coffee·$·Bywater

A Bywater favorite in a former corner store — a chill room, solid espresso, and the occasional pop-up serving bites. Order espresso drinks done well, and grab whatever's fresh if a pop-up happens to be in. Come mid-morning for Bywater exploration, when the corner-store charm is at its best. It is a neighborhood coffee spot in the truest sense, the converted corner store giving it character that purpose-built cafés lack — chill, local, and worth checking for food pop-ups. Exactly the kind of unhurried Bywater room you settle into before drifting onward through the neighborhood.
