    This place is fantastic! They have a cereal bar where you can get, well, cereal (in a take-out container). They have a lot of fancy coffees but their simple Americano is delicious.

    The cheesecake cupcakes are amazing. They will try to give you chocolate syrup with, but go for frosting instead.
