"Sometimes morning coffee is a rushed event rather than a ritual. But at Composition Coffee, it’s more like an 11-step skincare routine that leaves you feeling like a newborn. Composition specializes in AeroPress coffee, which they ceremoniously present on wooden trays next to herbal water. It’s a good place to get work done when you need an atmosphere that lends itself to writing a prose poem or pretending to read The New Yorker. After you’re done, check out Rust and Wax, the record store next door, to round out your day of pursuing sophistication." - Katie Walsh
