located in wee little hole, on a quiet block of Irving street.
They make their espresso drinks with my preferred Ritual Roasters beans, their roast is lighter than italian style charred espresso beans.
Decent selection of pastries and a craft shop next door round off a perfect morning excursion for a coffee (its 15 minutes walk down the hill from us) using bus+walking you can get there in under 10 minutes.

plenty of national coverage! a wide variety of produce, meats and food specialty items (mushrooms, oils, teas, utencils etc).
amazing selection of food vendors.
I recommend porchetta sandwich and rotisserie chicken stand or a take out from "Out the door" extension of Slanted Door vietnamese restaurant.
Market assembles on Tuesday and Saturdays (during daytime).
