Coffee stops
Optimist Hall: Coffee and Small Finds
Meet late morning for coffee, browse two small shops and finish with a scoop, all inside one food-hall building. Aim for after 11 a.m. so retail and dessert service overlap. This makes a manageable rainy-day first visit without needing to choose among every lunch counter.
