Exquisite Creatures
Inner EastsideA fully plant-based coffee bar wedged into a narrow former elevator shaft on SE Ash, with a few bistro tables and wood-stump stools up a couple stairs in back. The beans are roasted just down the street into a milder east-coast medium roast. The draw is the popcorn latte, poured three ways — movie theater, kettle, and caramel.
The order
Get the popcorn latte — it comes three ways (movie theater, kettle, caramel) and it's the thing regulars rave about; pair it with one of the in-house vegan pastries, all on oat, soy, coconut, or almond.
