Crema's Take
“Hardware Coffee Co.'s baristas actually engage with you about coffee—one regular sparked a conversation with the owner about flat whites that clearly stuck with them—and the espresso-forward drinks justify the attention, with a consistently hot, flavorful cup that draws comparisons to Prague's best cafés. The courtyard seating and full breakfast menu make it easy to linger, but it's the genuine kindness of the staff that transforms a good coffee stop into a place worth returning to.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Wifi. Parking available.

The coffee is delicious and the pastries top notch but what will keep me returning is the kindness of the people who work there. When I came up to the window and was surveying the pastries, one of the security guards from the Square smiled and remarked how much he loved the…
