I lived down the street from Running Late for almost a year, and it was the highlight of the neighborhood. As an American, I have a high bar for third wave filter coffee, and Running Late allllways has something interesting and delicious on tap. Their baked goods rotate (and are universally delicious), the staff is lovely (hi, Alex! 👋🏻), and the loyalty card system is so cute, it’s makes a trip down the block even more enjoyable. If you’re in the neighborhood, consider joining their Run Club, Walk Club, or walking book club 🤩 Running Late is a wonderful fixture in the community that I want to pack up and take with me

A charming little café with super friendly staff. While there’s no indoor seating—making it more of a takeaway spot—I really enjoyed my iced flat white. The cup was adorable too!
