6. skybound coffee + dessert lounge
Trendy coffee shop with a cozy lounge area and unique dessert options

Made a quick breakfast pit stop. The cold brew arrived swiftly and hit the spot. The breakfast burrito, however, fell short. Microwaved eggs and chewy bacon left much to be desired, with only the avocado saving the dish. Despite a chatty and sluggish staff, the place was fairly quiet. Just an average experience.
