Xela Coffee Roasters

Xela’s technicolor, graffiti-splashed is pretty easy to spot driving up Canal in the East End. Known for its top tier in-house roasting, blaring emo-rap music, and fun pre-bottled drinks—like the Screwston cold brew with a promethazine lookalike label or a saffron spiced chai—Xela Coffee Roasters makes coffee feel serious, a little edgy, and mostly just really tasty. Order everything through the front window and snag a patio seat, or take a few bottle bevs to go.
