Restaurant, bar, great views. They grow their vegetables on the roof. Love to go there for Happy Hour (but you HAVE TO BE THERE JUST BEFORE THEY OPEN AT 5:00), but it's only until 6pm (yes, that means happy hour is ONE HOUR). It's totally worth it if you want to sit outside on the patio, get a lovely cocktail and have a little nosh.

When you see a simple menu like Coava's, you know they take pride in the quality of their coffee. There are only five things on their menu - coffee, espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, and latte. Coava roasts their own beans and after trying their coffee, I ended up buying two bags to take home with me. I love the warehouse feel of this place. There's so much open space in contrast to most coffee places these days. Also, the baristas here are the friendliest baristas you'll ever meet!
