"Forthright, tucked away on the corner of Cesar Chavez and Brazos, is a cafe/restaurant you can also pop into for some very good coffee. It’s a bright space that’s polished enough for a work meeting, or you can easily camp out with a laptop at the wooden bar in the mornings. There’s also an elaborate tea and matcha drinks menu—one of the biggest in town. While it’s one of those places that serves avocado toast and makes their own nut milk, you can also get a Bloody Mary and fried chicken and waffles. " - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
