    Can't go wrong with Penny House! Great, quick, cheap eats and coffee. Nice spot for camping out to get some work done, as well.

    First time here. I was just looking for a spot to stay dry and have some coffee, but I'm really glad I found this spot. Great coffee, friendly service, and it's nice and cozy. Highly recommend!

    This place has so many options for such a little cafe. Lox, breakfast sandwiches, coffee galore. Need to come back for sure!

    50 min suggested max time at a table, so not an appropriate place to camp out and work

    The staff is very sweet. I just wish the smoothies were too. Ordered a strawberry, banana with soy. It's bland. I'm not in love with it. You may not be either. Will try the iced chai next time.

    Lots of breakfast sandwich options, but plenty of stiff coffee house competition on this block

    the owner is the hardest working guy I've seen, and also the nicest. I go out of my way for their coffee - it's always good.
