"With its bright pink cushions, half-wood-half-tiled floors, bamboo bar, and graphic vintage Hermès wallpaper, Café Loustic is more like your stylish, chic friend's apartment than your neighborhood coffee shop. That is, if your friend serves V60 pour-overs, a stellar chai latté, and specialty coffee by Belgian roaster Caffènation. (Note to non-bean drinkers: Get the milk oolong tea.) Loustic is an excellent spot to start the day on a sweet note, have a light lunch with a friend, or savor a late-afternoon pick-me-up." - Lindsey Tramuta
