About

Understory Café pairs coffee and matcha with a small food menu that includes a chickpea sandwich and vegan cookies; the café also serves dairy- and egg-based pastries. Hanging plants, board games, sketchbooks and a take-a-book library give it a relaxed, community-oriented feel, though weekend visits can be busy and laptop seating is limited.
