The Back Parlor

Lakeview Roasters · Lakeview · sits 4–16

Twelve feet of south-facing window, one long reclaimed-oak table, and a door you can actually close. The room sits behind the roasting bar, so it smells like coffee all day and the noise from the front never quite reaches you. The radiator clanks in winter. Nobody has ever complained about it.

No fee. They ask that each guest orders something. Shindig charges you nothing to find this room or ask for it. Whatever you spend, you spend with Lakeview Roasters.
