The Delectable Egg

the tea program here is serious enough to make you reconsider your default order. most coffee shops treat tea as an afterthought, a box of bags near the register. the delectable egg, sitting a short walk from the 16th street corridor on court place, doesn't do that. the specialty coffee side holds its own too, and if you're coming alone with something to read or think through, this is a good room for it. the vegetarian-friendly breakfast menu means the food isn't just a prop for the drinks. it all adds up to a place that rewards a slower morning, not a grab-and-go one. start with whatever's on the tea menu before you default to an espresso drink.
