Discovery Coffee along side Livet.  They have a great sunny patio to boot, I'm sure half the people go there to enjoy the sun.

This will probably Discovery's best location. The patio is great (so is the coffee).

Looks great. Are they installing awnings so that large patio can be used from October - March?

And actually quite a bit more appealing than the above photo would suggest. Will be even better once the recently planted trees grow a bit.

Sunny SW location, maybe the best downtown coffee spot?

What's the deal with the 2 prices on the food side, then?  And $34 for chuck steak? Really?

Lots of bikes parked out front.  I think it's because it's really high foot traffic here and in direct sight of the coffee shop.  Would be pretty brazen to steal a bike from one of these racks.  Contrast these with the one where Lisa Helps had her bike parts stripped.

Keeps the poor riffraff out. Only rich riffraff, please.

Yeah, but chuck steak is for the riff-raff.  If ever there's a sign of the demise of the middle class... (cough cough)

DEAR VICTORIA, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO RECAP THE LAST EIGHT YEARS OF OPENING THE DOOR FOR YOU, GIVING YOU A HUG, AND FEEDING YOUR BELLY IVE BEEN SO BLESSED TO HAVE SPENT MY WORKDAYS SURROUNDED BY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRATIONAL PEOPLE. THOSE WHO SPEND THEIR WORKDAY SURROUNDED BY MUSIC, DELICIOUS INGREDIENTS, AND FRIENDS.  SO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE JOINED ME FOR DINNER HAVE ENDED UP JOINING ME FOR LIFE. THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE RESTAURANT WORLD MEANS TO ME... A PLACE WHERE YOU COME TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCE, A PLACE YOU GO TO FEEL ALIVE AND BE OUT... A PLACE TO CONNECT IN A GENUINE WAY WITH THE WORLD AROUND YOU AND BUMP INTO THOSE WHO ARE ON THE SAME ROAD BUT A DIFFERENT JOURNEY.  IT'S A SPECIAL THING TO BREAK BREAD WITH SOMEONE. TO NOURISH YOUR BODY AND MIND TOGETHER LEAVES AN EVERLASTING FOOTPRINT IN YOUR TUMMY.  TO EVERYONE WHO HAS MADE NOT ONLY MY LIFE BUT THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY SO SPECIAL I’LL ALWAYS BE THANKFUL.

I guess the hipster menu wasn't as lucrative as it was imagined to be.
