The coffee was good!! I looked up the places you recommend and they all looked fabulous. About a 30 min walk from the conference though - so I think I’ll focus my efforts on ones that are a short walk from the festivities for those who want to meetup before the day starts, or during a break.

I love a good walk in the morning though, so I may venture up that way tomorrow for some coffee and breakfast. :-)

Both spots I tried today were good - but one was way cozier than the other. Would be a perfect place to enjoy some great conversation. :)
