About

This coffee bar operates inside a renovated post office, a detail that gives the space its distinctive character. It's LGBTQ-owned and women-led, with an owner who brings over 25 years of specialty coffee experience. The crowd here is mixed gay-straight and spans 20-somethings to 40-somethings, making it a genuinely inclusive spot. You'll find outdoor seating, free wifi, and it's dog-friendly.

They serve coffee, tea, bagels, and pastries — simple but done well. Hours are short: 6am to 1pm Monday through Saturday, with a slightly later 7am start on Sunday. If you're hungry for more, Red Mesa Cantina is a nearby option for lunch after your coffee run.
