"Onda’s the neighborhood cafe of all neighborhood cafes. Their doors open and close so often, the heating bill’s got to be through the roof. Baristas shout out regulars by name between hisses of the milk-steaming wand. And the crowd is colorful—there are folks on blind dates, solo WFH employees, glowing parents making a rare appearance with their new infant, and, of course, the occasional terrier mix. It’d be the kind of Hillman City third place we’d frequent even if the coffee tasted like potting soil, but the in-house-roasted supply is terrific. You’re in great hands with a velvety cappuccino or anything involving a nuanced homemade syrup." - Aimee Rizzo
