Treat yourself at Cafe Kopi

Cafe Kopi is beloved for good reason. The food is great, the service is lovely, and the space is large enough that you’re not crammed in on top of other people trying to “do work.”

I stopped in for some tea (I guess this is my thing now?) and a treat — fine, two treats. I grabbed the tangerine ginger tea ($2.50), a ginger snap cookie ($0.95), and a red velvet cake truffle ($1.95).

On the plate are two cookies: one ginger snap, and one red velvet cake truffle dipped in white chocolate and dusted with red sprinkles. Photo by Jessica Hammie.

There are, of course, plenty of other little treats, and with daily coffee specials, you’re bound to find something you like.
