Coffee and Breakfast
Everyone in Fishtown loves La Colombe. This is their flagship location. Their coffee is pretty unbeatable. In the summer try the Black and Tan (cold brew topped with their famous Draft Latte). Only downside, no wifi if you need to work.

The best bagels! They are boiled in local Yards beer which gives them a great texture. Take out only. If the weather is nice, I recommend eating in Palmer Park across the street.
