Can't go wrong with Penny House! Great, quick, cheap eats and coffee. Nice spot for camping out to get some work done, as well.

First time here. I was just looking for a spot to stay dry and have some coffee, but I'm really glad I found this spot. Great coffee, friendly service, and it's nice and cozy. Highly recommend!

This place has so many options for such a little cafe. Lox, breakfast sandwiches, coffee galore. Need to come back for sure!

50 min suggested max time at a table, so not an appropriate place to camp out and work

Excellent cappuccino and friendly staff. Small but not crowded, quiet seating in back with small tables.

Friendliest staff in the world. AMAZING bagels and bagel sandwiches and cream cheese and lox. A must go! Hidden gem of Washington ave.

The staff is very sweet. I just wish the smoothies were too. Ordered a strawberry, banana with soy. It's bland. I'm not in love with it. You may not be either. Will try the iced chai next time.

I walk by two coffee shops to get here each morning. Why? Wonderful, personal and friendly service, great prices in a clean and inviting environment. Long live Penny House!

They recently added organic, spiced oatmeal to the menu and it's incredible! They've done it perfectly :)

Best coffee shop on Washington. Friendliest staff. If they aren't super busy, chat them up a bit.

Lots of breakfast sandwich options, but plenty of stiff coffee house competition on this block

the owner is the hardest working guy I've seen, and also the nicest. I go out of my way for their coffee - it's always good.
