LOVE this place - excellent coffee and breakfast, free wifi, and they make their own pastries in house. (the owner cut his teeth at some of nyc's finest restaurants as a pastry chef.) good post-dinner dessert/coffee option. they also have a shaded patio, perfect for breakfast in nice weather. and the furniture/decor is beautiful.
