Let’s be honest, even if you text or snap your friend every single day, that still can’t compare to a long catch-up sesh with 'em every now and then. If you're in the mood of doing just that, come and get comfy at some of our cool coffee shops --- Bruncheria Cafe, Hive Cafe and Old Crow Coffee for a cup of delicious coffee and pastries!
