Coffee
May Day Cafe
A coffee shop near Powderhorn Park with a selection of baked goods, including a couple vegan options. The place is popular and quite small, so it gets crowded very often; don't be surprised if a complete stranger grabs a seat at your table.
2nd Moon Coffee Cafe
Blue Moon Coffee Cafe
Wonderland Park Coffee Shop
Coffee shop operated by Peace Coffee (http://www.peacecoffee.com), a locally-based brand of organic fair trade coffee.
