If you love authentic Thai food, then you need to try this family owned restaurant. I like the roasted Brussel sprouts, the pad thai, or the drunken noodles if you're into spicy food.

The owner is Lebanese and has devoted his life to this coffee shop! Not only can you get any type of coffee beverage you can think of, but you can choose from a wide menu of healthy items to go with your drink. I like the snickerdoodle coffee. All of their flavored coffee are from flavor roasted beans--He does not serve flavor shots at all.

The coffee here is one of the best in the state. Fair trade and organic. You can purchase beans by the pound, and will receive a free coffee when you do. The shop is on historic Wickenden St and is right around the corner from the haunted Benefit St where ghost tours are often booked. This place is dog friendly on the deck!
