This is a great neighborhood in general for stellar coffee and baked goods, but Katie's takes both of these things to a whole new level. There is a clear sense that the owners take great pride in their establishment, from the cozy, relaxed atmosphere with thoughtful touches throughout, to the large, diverse selection of pastries and cakes that are sophisticated in flavor and presentation but have the kind of home-baked goodness that only comes from loving attention in the kitchen. And don't get me started on the coffee, each drink you order is not only made with high quality ingredients, but crafted in a thorough and attentive manner so that you never end up with a clumsy shot. In general, the place is more welcoming than others in the area, especially if you're one of those who like to sit and savor, maybe with a book or newpaper, or even -gasp- a laptop.
I can easily say that this place is worth trekking out to, because you get an experience here that is difficult to replicate.
