We serve their coffee to our guests and many of our guests ask if they can take some home. You can get both whole or ground coffee beans there along with a french press to make the coffee you are served there. In the afternoon and evening go to their ice cream shop Syrens which shares their courtyard. On hot days, try their Lebaneses lemonade with Mint. Mmmmmm

Great small plates menu with delicious home made cocktails, my favorite is the dark and stormy with home made Ginger beer, and their sangria cannot be beat. Make sure to check out their pop up menu with cool and interesting dishes like a Louisiana Crawfish Boil....

Sightseeing
The Elms is a short block away and has one of the most enlightening tours because you can see how the 'help' lived in contrast to the 'family' and guests. It can be nice to stroll through their gardens on the way to/from the Cliff Walk. The servants quarters tour is really enlightening, they got the unflattering views of the statuary along the top of the mansion which reinforced their station in their lives as servants and caretakers.
