  • Consistently High-Quality Daily Coffee

    Reliably crafted espresso delivers rich flavor and balanced consistency morning after morning.

    The coffee is always very good, I would say the best in the area, and the service is excellent.

Before you head over

Practical advice on parking, seating, and takeaway timing for your visit to Cafe 130.

  • Arrive early for street parking

    Street parking is available nearby but fills up quickly during morning rushes and peak hours. Plan extra time to find a spot before your visit.

  • Expect table waits during peak hours

    The cafe gets packed on busy mornings and weekends, often requiring a wait for walk-in tables. Consider booking ahead for family groups or dining off-peak.

  • Opt for prompt takeaway if short on time

    If you are stopping by for a post-workout treat or morning walk, takeaway coffees and fresh cannoli or pastries are handled promptly even when seated dining is bustling.
