Cafés / Station Street
The original, since 1974Station Street.
The first café, the first counter, the room the neighbourhood grew up around. Espresso from Trenta, filter from whatever landed this week, and the grilled cheese that has been on the menu since the day we opened.

Coffee is always a good idea.
A note when a new coffee lands or the cafés change the menu, and not much else.
