Crema's Take

Bare Bones nails the hybrid café-bar thing by serving legitimately good drip coffee alongside boozy brunches and build-your-own breakfast sandwiches that won't break the bank. The staff—particularly bartenders Tiani and Allison—are the kind of genuinely warm people who'll have you coming back whether you're after a morning coffee or a "hair of the dog" situation. It's a chill spot with solid vegetarian options, outdoor seating, and the vibe of a neighborhood gem that locals actually want to protect.

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi. Parking available.
