Located in the heart of Sherman Park—there's a Friends joke in there somewhere—this little hole-in-the-wall cafe was once a gas station that has since been renovated and restored and is now a historical landmark. The aesthetic respects the vintage backstory, with vinyl records supplying the music, 50s stool chairs, and a barista that seems to know everyone in the neighborhood. Great food, fantastic coffee, and for a good price, it's a favorite with the locals, and wheelchair accessible! Locals say it's perfect for a quick cup of coffee, to get out of the snow with the kids, or even for a sweet date night, and they host events (like "Coffee With A Cop") all the time!
