Protagonist Cafe is a charming spot with a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a casual gathering or getting some work done. The walls are lined with books for sale, creating a cute vibe that reflects the college town spirit. The cafe offers a variety of drinks, including a delicious strawberry matcha, as well as vegan baked goods like a very sugary cinnamon roll and a good blueberry muffin. On Sundays, they have a breakfast taco bar. Additionally, the cafe sells gifts such as mugs, candles, and cards. The service is quick and friendly, with staff going above and beyond to ensure customers feel welcome. They are also attentive to accessibility needs, providing ramps for those who require them. With its cozy ambiance and tasty treats, Protagonist Cafe is a popular spot, especially among students. Customers can enjoy their time playing backgammon or chatting with locals, but be prepared for a possible wait for a seat on weekends, though it's well worth it.
