Some seriously good coffee from Barcelona native, Jordi Carbonell. Try the Don Bigote (Mr. Mustache) - a mocha with a pinch of hot pepper to warm the cockles of your heart.

This is a personal favorite of mine - great brews and delicious pizza! Plus it's in the heart of Midtown so it's only a 15 minute walk from Virginia Park and it's surrounded by shopping and other great restaurants!
