Roos Roast on Liberty is right downtown, the people are nice, and it’s always interesting to see John and Kath. The spot is always very busy. Espresso and a boiled egg is only $3, but it’s easy to spend $7 if you fancy up the egg and put it on toast and get a cortado and tip generously.
Note that Sunday brunch is “no laptop” hours at the tables, to encourage conversation and not just typey-typey work.
