🚨 New Cafe Alert
Looking for a new coffee spot? The Wall just opened in the Central Ninth neighborhood, and they’ve got a great space! It’s a small cafe on the ground floor of Slate Apartments with a nice patio and (best of all!) a walk- or bike-up window. The cafe sits right on the 9 Line Trail, so it’s the perfect place for a quick coffee or a leisurely stop along your weekend ride.
