Harper’s Cafe brings relaxed charm with its laid-back seating, board games, and friendly crowd. Their specialty syrups come on the side so you can customize your drink. Popular items include lavender lattes and avocado toast with microgreens.

Cafe La France
Right near the station, this café is perfect for people seeking something reliably comforting with minimal exposure. They’ve been there for decades, making stellar breakfast sandwiches and espresso drinks. The bustling but steady environment makes blending in effortless—no small talk required if you’re not in the mood.
Tea in Sahara
Offering samosas, tagine, and soothing mint tea—great for hiding behind a hot drink with a low-key ambience. The vibe is mellow and sophisticated, and if your ex shows up, chances are they’ll grab a corner table far from yours
Urban Grind
Urban Grind is the kind of place where you can post up with your laptop, order a chai latte with oat milk, and stay for Thursday night poetry. Seriously. The vibe is grounded and welcoming, and the food (like their pastries and pressed sandwiches) is worth more than a side glance. There's no rush here, and the no-phone rule adds a layer of mindfulness that’s rare in city cafés.
