White Rose Coffee

"White Rose Coffee is a tattoo parlor and a coffee shop. The empanadas come from Milly’s Empanada Factory and pair great with the lavender iced matcha latte. And the round tables make this an ideal spot for working in groups, or simply having intense conversations about which forearm you want to compromise with a large tattoo of an ouroboros. A strong cup of coffee and some cheesy tequeños can help you work up the courage to get said tattoo in the back. We should make clear you don’t have to get a tattoo when you come here, but you will almost certainly seem cooler if you do." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

"Intrusive thoughts we’ve had include driving off a highway, opening the emergency exit mid-flight, and getting a tattoo at a coffee shop. Only one of these things is a (sort of) good idea that you can actually do at White Rose Coffee. This coffee shop is really good at two things: coffee and tattoos. Their spinach and cheese pastelito also might convince you to get a spinach and cheese pastelito tattoo. And they have a trio of mini empanadas for $6.50 that come from Milly’s Empanada Factory. The layout seems inspired by the business in the front, party in the back philosophy. They have some round tables near the entrance that are great for working, especially in groups. Once you clock out, make your way to the back and get "p o a c h e d e g g" tattooed on your knuckles to look like a talented chef." - Mariana Trabanino
