When you see a simple menu like Coava's, you know they take pride in the quality of their coffee. There are only five things on their menu - coffee, espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, and latte. Coava roasts their own beans and after trying their coffee, I ended up buying two bags to take home with me. I love the warehouse feel of this place. There's so much open space in contrast to most coffee places these days. Also, the baristas here are the friendliest baristas you'll ever meet!
