Antigua Coffee House
7.9
A neighborhood coffee stop where the sandwich menu quietly pulls its weight—simple builds on good bread with fresh, well-balanced fillings. It’s not aiming for deli maximalism, but it hits the sweet spot for a reliable breakfast or light lunch paired with strong coffee. Best when you want something unfussy that tastes cared for.
Must-Try Dishes:
Turkey pesto sandwich, Breakfast sandwich on house bread, Seasonal veggie sandwich

What makes it special: Coffee-forward café sandwiches that stay fresh and balanced.
Who should go: Locals wanting a simple, solid lunch with coffee.
When to visit: Late morning for best selection and calm.
What to order: Breakfast sandwich, turkey pesto, seasonal veggie.
Insider tip: Ask what bread just came out—builds rotate with the bake.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is generally available on Yosemite Dr., with easier spots mid-morning; can get tight during school drop-off and weekend brunch hours.
Dress code: Casual and relaxed—athleisure, jeans, and tees all fit the neighborhood café vibe.
Noise level: Low to moderate—busy espresso work can add background sound, but conversation is easy at most tables.
Weekend wait: Not applicable—kitchen focuses on breakfast and lunch; closes before dinner.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, though the line may take 5–10 minutes during peak coffee rush.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple sandwiches and breakfast builds with eggs, cheese, and seasonal veggies.
Vegan options: Limited—usually a veggie-forward option can be customized, but expect simple swaps rather than dedicated dishes.
Gluten-free options: Partial—GF bread is sometimes available, but prep is not cross-contamination safe.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Good for a casual, low-pressure daytime date—coffee-first energy, friendly staff, and a mellow vibe. Not ideal if you want something more polished or evening-focused.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's counter-service with first-come seating. You’ll almost always find a spot outdoors or inside if you avoid peak brunch hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—informal setting, quick service, and outdoor seating make it easy for families. Best for kids 3+ who can manage counter-service setups.
Best For
Better for: A relaxed neighborhood sandwich-and-coffee combo where freshness, simplicity, and comfort take precedence over size or flash.
Skip if: You want stacked deli-style sandwiches, specialty meats, or a destination-level brunch experience—other nearby spots will hit those notes better.
