1. Transparent Coffee
If you know Coley Cocktail Bar, you’ll know where to find Transparent Coffee which takes over the space by day. And boy, it’s a gorgeous space with a greenery-adorned entrance. But of course, the highlight is the beans that are sourced directly from the producers. Owned by Joey Mah of Three Little Birds, you can be sure of an extraordinary cuppa. On the side, you can order freshly-baked sourdough served as toast with French butter and other types of spread; as tartines or as traditional sandwiches.
