This Optimist location has a great selection of coffee with friendly baristas and welcoming service. It’s always clean and usually pretty busy when I stop by. I’m a little torn about that — it’s nice to see how much people love this place, but it also means it can get crowded.

Icarus of the vibe - ☀️ |📔|🪴| ❌🔌
Good for a chat, not for a working session.
Hard to find a place where the sun ☀️ doesn't hit you in the face, small tables, and sparse outlets ❌🔌.
Good ambiance if you like books and plants.
- It feels like you are a lizard in a big terrarium. large thin rectangle interior with big windows on one side and hot sunlight streaming in. 🔥🦎
