Spotted.

“Great coffee, lots of giggles and plenty of brilliant tunes” — the regulars, two- and four-legged.

  • A fluffy dog asleep on the wooden floor between the tables

    Spotted: a very good boy, flat out on the floorboards. Pups welcome — we’ve even done pup portraits.

  • A latte with latte art in a black cup on a marble table

    Spotted: latte art. We missed pouring it all summer.

  • Laptops open on the long tables by the tall windows

    Spotted: laptops out, meetings on.

  • A croissant on a plate, held up in a red sleeve

    Spotted: a croissant, obviously.

  • The long window bar with plants and stools, red brick outside

    Spotted: a window seat for people-watching on Lever Street.
