Stumptown coffee. Yummy Veracruz tacos from one of the stands. I love that they have free wifi but also turn it off at 5pm to foster more of a community feel.

Drinks & Nightlife
This place feels like a secret. I love it so much. From Congress you will see the vine covered walls and the Hotel San Jose sign. Go through one of the gates toward the inner courtyard/pool area. There's a bar there with indoor and outdoor seating. Such a lovely vibe.

Entertainment & Activities
You can order food that's delivered to you during the movie. Also, I love all their quirky showings - like they had a show where they played the music videos of the most popular hits from 1997. What's not to love?
