The verdict

The verdict

Coffee by day, wine bar by night — Charlie Foster’s at Stovehouse is the move when you want your coffee date to have options. The vibe has seriously leveled up lately: warmer, more welcoming, and a more creative menu than before. Cold foam on cold brew was a first for me here and now I can’t go back. Open late on weekends (espresso martini, anyone?), and you’ve got all of Stovehouse to wander after. Easy parking, endless people-watching.
