Tina’s Cafe

Founded in 2008, Tina’s Café has nurtured a loyal following with its dedication to traditional coffee brands such as Folgers and Yuban. Convenient location with some of the lowest coffee prices in town. Décor has a garage-​sale feel to it, and the lighting could be improved, but the seating is comfortable and encourages random conversations. Unfortunately, the service is poor: Owner is often distant and seems preoccupied with some other venture, but this might be an act. Also, customers must clean up after themselves or else the owner gets very cross and points a finger at the offending mess. Even so, a much better deal than the nearby Third Street Deli.
