Popular with university students, this cafe is the perfect place to grab a latte or frappuccino and a snack or panini. We recommend the muffins, which are available in vanilla or chocolate flavors and pair excellently with a chai latte.

Chocathe

It’s impossible to miss the delectable smell of chocolate wafting through the doorway of this cozy and inviting chocolate and tea salon. Chocathe makes a peaceful and ideal place to read, study, or work while drinking what many locals would say is the best hot chocolate in the city. Don’t leave before purchasing some biscuits or chocolate bars for the road.
