WHY Roasted on-site coffee, in bulk or to drink here, prepared by the Chinese-American owner, Jimmy, who’s brought his passion for coffee to a neighborhood that needed it. Great prices, too.

WHAT This coffee roaster, coffeehouse and juice bar is a real find, run by a friendly guy who wants everyone to love coffee as much as he does. Fresh-roasted beans are just $8 a pound; espressos and lattes are carefully made; and the juice selection (coconut, orange, sugarcane) is seductive. Best of all, each cup of brewed coffee is made to order—Jimmy doesn’t believe in having coffee sit around. Try the Vietnamese coffee.
