    Lavender latte is the only thing you need to order here! I tend to omit the honey since it's a little too sweet with it but regardless this place holds the title for my favorite latte on campus

    A modern coffee shop along Liberty Street, it's a great place to hangout and/or get some work done. Grab a pour over made with local Anthology coffee beans. Can't go wrong with a basic latte either!

    This place is pretty good. The interior is lovely, they use parlour beans from Brooklyn & they do a decent job of making pour overs. For being called Lab I would expect a more exact science of brewing

    You can really taste the lavender in the Lavender & Honey Latte! They have a cozy interior but it can be hard to get a seat.

    College town coffee shop with a modern atmosphere. Do school and other work to hand-crafted coffee made from Blue Bottle or Intelligentsia beans. (via @elatlboy) Read more

    They always have a gluten free baked good option! I had a GF lemon bar here that was delicious.

    Right near graffiti alley which is worth popping in, sea salt latte was interesting but I got a large which was far too much sweetness for me, good in small portions though

    Great coffee. Get the almond frozen yogurt if available. Taro is also great. Get El Diablo roast if you like your coffee strong! Only 1 decaf though.
