What we’re ordering

• Coffee + tea: Locally-sourced and made in-house, check. Choose from eight signature coffees and teas, and keep an eye on the hot or rotating iced tea options. We sipped on the Hey Neighbor Latte — and don’t skip the whip. It’s homemade and vegan-friendly. Bonus: Your hunt for a decaf espresso ends here.
• Food + pastries: Gluten-free? No problem. You’ve got options, including almost everything under the pastry selection, which features a cookie topped with an edible flower. If you’re looking for a little more to munch, share the hummus or cheese board. We recommend the orzo pasta salad — no halfsies involved.
