Loquat Coffee
7.8
A specialty coffee stop that doubles as a light-brunch hang, with precise drinks and a small menu of pastries and savory bites. The vibe is bright and modern, great for a quick morning reset or a low-key meet-up. More coffee-driven than full brunch, but a legit neighborhood pull.

House latte, Matcha / chai specials, Pastry of the day

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is generally available on adjacent residential blocks; mornings are easiest, but expect light competition on weekends.
Dress code: Casual and comfortable; athleisure, jeans, and everyday wear all fit the vibe.
Noise level: Moderate—espresso-bar hum with steady conversation; you can hold a chat without raising your voice.
Weekend wait: Not applicable; they close early and do not serve dinner.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, though the counter can get briefly backed up if a morning rush overlaps.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Several baked goods and light savory bites suit vegetarians; easy to order around the menu.
Vegan options: Limited but present—some pastries and drink customizations work; check daily offerings.
Gluten-free options: A few GF-friendly pastry options rotate; availability varies day-to-day.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Great for a casual, low-pressure meetup—bright space, good coffee, and quick service. Not ideal if you want a full meal or a long, sit-down experience.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-in only. Seating turns over quickly, especially on weekdays and earlier in the morning.
Is it kid-friendly? Kid-appropriate in a light, quick-stop way; no dedicated kids menu, but pastries and drinks work for older kids. Limited space for strollers during peak times.
Best For
Better for: Coffee quality and quick, stylish morning stops—ideal when you want a tighter menu and a modern café feel.
Skip if: You’re looking for a full brunch plate, long meals, or large-group seating—other neighborhood spots offer more substantial food and wider menus.
