Patika

At the coffee shop and cafe Patika on South Lamar,  you can be as healthy as you want to be, whether that means a grilled cheese loaded with bacon, or a quinoa bowl topped with a poached egg, red pepper hummus, and kale. And none of it feels like an afterthought, as is often the case at coffee shops that proudly display a case of lukewarm breakfast tacos. It’s not open for dinner, but there’s still beer and wine—available by the glass or bottle—in case you want to turn that Tuesday lunch into a Tuesday afternoon hang.
