Coffee improved on a second visit: an overnight Indonesian single-origin cold brew was quite good, though the first visit's latte came out milky and under-extracted. - Coffee / Drink Quality: 8.1/10 - Atmosphere: 8.1/10 - Solo-Friendliness: 9.0/10 - Value: 8.1/10 - Staying Power: 8.2/10 - Overall: 8.3/10 Perfect for: working alone, reading ## The Space Gypsy Souls is a locally owned cafe on Dr. M.L.K. Jr. Street North that roasts its own beans in the shop. There are plenty of communal tables inside and seats outdoors, and the menu runs to breakfast and lunch sandwiches with homemade muffins and coffee cakes. ## The Coffee My first visit, a 16 oz hot latte, was under-extracted and milky, with none of the punch I wanted from a place that roasts its own beans. On a second visit I had the cold brew, an Indonesian single origin steeped overnight, and it was quite good. Mom's chicken sandwich is homemade and was quite delicious both times. > Wifi that works, tables that welcome you, and a cold brew worth the stop. ## The Vibe The staff were friendly and convivial. The wifi is free and quite strong, and the long tables make it an easy room to settle into alone with a laptop. ## The Verdict A great place to work solo, with food worth ordering. Come for the wifi, the tables and the sandwich, and order the cold brew over the latte. ### Practical information - Address: 515 Dr M.L.K.
