Notable Picks
#1
Forest Cafe
8.5
A bright, line-prone neighborhood cafe where the real draw is flavor-forward lattes and matcha drinks that actually taste like what they’re named. Treat breakfast here as a drink-plus-one move—grab a seasonal latte, pair it with a small sweet or sando, and keep it tight so everything stays crisp and fresh.
Must-Try Dishes:
Dirty Ube Latte, Matcha Latte, Japanese Sando
What makes it special: Seasonal latte execution with standout, clearly defined flavors.
8.4
A French bakery-café that wins on laminated pastry craft and a deep bench of savory-and-sweet staples, with the open-kitchen setup reinforcing that this is production-first, not vibes-first. Come with a focused order—one croissant, one éclair, and one baguette item—so everything stays crisp, warm, and properly buttery.
Must-Try Dishes:
Almond croissant, Pistachio éclair, Fresh baguette sandwich
What makes it special: A production-driven French bakery with serious pastry and bread execution.
8.1
A coffee-forward Austin Street cafe that shines when you treat breakfast as a clean, caffeinated reset—espresso drinks, pastries, and light bites that pair well with a quick sit-down. It’s strongest as a one-drink, one-food-item stop rather than a full multi-course breakfast.
Must-Try Dishes:
Espresso Drink, Croissant, Breakfast Sandwich
What makes it special: A reliable all-day cafe rhythm where coffee leads the order.

Rove
7.7
A neighborhood bar-restaurant that plays best as a brunch-and-casual-dinner spot, with comfort-driven plates that fit the Austin Street flow. It shines when you order like a regular—one brunch classic or one burger, plus a salad if you want balance.
Must-Try Dishes:
Eggs Benedict, Braised Beef Bruschetta, Black Bean Burger
What makes it special: A reliable Austin Street hang that covers brunch and bar-food comfort well.
