My favorite neighborhood coffee shop to get work done or just hang with a friend or a book. Coffee and food at a reasonable price with plenty of table space you never have a problem finding a spot to sit. They also have a handful of tables on the street outside if you’d rather take in the sights on Temescal. The beer on tap ($6/pint) plus a fair selection of board games make this a great spot for an afternoon beverage as well. My only complaint would be the 7pm closing time is a bit early especially since they do serve beer. The music can also be a little loud for reading but nothing headphones can’t fix I suppose. Overall a true Temescal gem with unbeatable vibes.

Looks like a regular coffee place but actually is great for sitting with your laptop and enjoy a great ambience for working, reading and listening to good music. I personally like drinking Kombucha in this Place, you should really give it a try

Great coffee, good service. I like to come here in the morning and get an hour of work done on my laptop while enjoying coffee and a snack. I like the funky mix of solid wood chairs & tables. I can usually find a comfortable spot and get some work done. The music is an eclectic mix, but generally friendly to concentration and upbeat. I see plenty of folks use this as a work meeting space, too. Unpretentious and casual.

Great spot to get some studying or work done. Good coffee, tea and food. Plus the free Wi-Fi always helps. Last but not least the staff are really nice and helpful, and most of the other patrons are respectful of your space + need for quiet. It's hard to find a Cafe with all of the above, so I'd highly recommend H&P.
TIP: Get the Mini egg sandwich for some major flavor. Or one of the delicious vegetarian/vegan options if that's more your thing. Oh and wash it down with any of the well-made espresso based drinks.
