Revolution IS a Tea Party by Gene M. at InsiderPages

This cafe used to be a hangout for socialists and leftist thinkers apparently. Now it's a cozy cafe for college students and the bohemian set who want to lounge in plush sofas, sipping home-brewed coffee and perusing the many leftist tomes on the wood-paneled shelves.
The first floor looks like your typical mom-and-pop coffeehouse - a bit cramped, long lines waiting for coffe or for some of the hefty portions of mouthwatering hot sandwiches and cakes. Up the narrow staircase you'll find what looks like a dark library with long dark tables and couches. You can place your food order downstairs and someone will bring up your food to the library.
There seems to be a large variety of items on the chalkboard menu, which can get a bit cluttered and hard to read. Otherwise, this cafe is a refreshing revisit to the salon type of teatime discussion of the events of the day.
