"Dogwood Coffee, Longfellow by Paper Bicycle. There's a simplicity in one's experience at Dogwood Coffee in Longfellow that is easy to appreciate. The staff are warm and genuine people, the goods prepared with care, and the space has an honest minimalism that allows a visitor to feel like they're part of what makes this coffeehouse special. Some of the best moments here can be on grey mornings, when the light filters through the windows-- all the way back to the back of the space. There are little two-person booths along the wall outfitted with charming industrial bendable lamps-- making them the perfect nooks to play a quick game of cards with a friend, or to re-immerse yourself in the book you've been meaning to pick back up. And when you're by yourself and in need of a bit of sincerity and a great cappuccino, you can always count on your interactions with the staff to remind you of how much personality can be in the quickest of gestures."
