Crema's Take
“Ancient Gate takes its espresso seriously enough to intimidate casual coffee drinkers, but the genuinely kind baristas and welcoming atmosphere make it feel more like a specialty coffee education than an elitist gatekeeping session. Hit it early in the morning when you can actually linger over a pour over or cappuccino without battling the crowd, and grab one of their excellent pastries while you're settling in for a study session or meeting.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.

This place is awesome, I went there with a friend from out of town and we both loved it. I order a cup of cappuccino and a maple and pecan pastry. The batista was the nicest person on earth, I'll absolutely be back!
