Apple Butter Cafe

you're on monmouth street, which has always had a slightly quieter frequency than the covent garden chaos a few minutes south. apple butter cafe sits at 32-34, and if you're the kind of person who wants to sit alone with something good and not feel like you're taking up space, this is a reasonable place to do that. the specialty coffee is the main event, but the tea program is taken seriously too, which isn't always true. small plates mean you can actually eat here, not just snack, and the vegetarian options are genuinely part of the menu rather than an afterthought. come mid-morning on a weekday, settle in, and order the tea if that's where your head is at.
