Best of Rhode Island 2008 Editors' Picks

With its killer lattes, super attentive staff and relaxed vibe (think mismatched worn-in sofas, Miles Davis posters plastered on the wall and The Shins playing in the background), this is the kind of coffeehouse you never want to leave. And you don't have to...at least not until the wee hours of the morning. When the sun goes down, the downtown Westerly haunt transforms into a chill bar; there's Blue Moon and Sierra Nevada on tap, eighteen wines by the glass, and live acoustic music Wednesday through Saturday. The best part? At this two-in-one, your friends don't have to compromise their drink of choice, be it a shot of espresso or organic vodka.
