Founded by two sisters to caffeinate the many startups popping up in the neighbourhood, and named after their canine companion, Louie has that neighbourhood vibe every good cafe should. The beautiful brick facade opens up to a cosy interior decked out with local art and a community bulletin board. Despite its size, Louie never feels too cramped, even at peak hours. Local internet superstars Beanfield supply the wi-fi. Grab a cup of house blend and a massive cookie, and vibe out to audacious playlists (it takes guts to play the Spice Girls right after NWA), while screenwriters and growth hackers zoom through for their daily dose.
