Espresso 54

Having late lunch probably after 2pm? Espresso 54 got you covered. Famous for their sit down lunch menu and go-to options, this cafe is a delight to two kinds of people: 1) those who are just starting the day, and 2) those who might just need a quick afternoon perk-up.

If you have visited the cafe more than once, chances are the staff already remember your name and your usual order! Sit down and jam with the smooth jazz in the background while waiting for your cup of coffee. As advocates of using less single-use cups, they are generous to slash 50 cents off of your order if you bring your own cup!
