Daymoon Coffeebar
The closest good coffee to home, and it happens to have a drive-thru. On a slow morning that combination is hard to beat. Pull up, grab your cortado, keep moving.
A couch-filled coffeehouse on State Street that's been roasting its own beans since long before Black Mountain got busy. They open at 6:30, so it's an easy walk downtown for a slow morning. There's usually a gluten-free or vegan pastry in the case too.

This is the hardest reservation in town right now, and it earns it. The Filipino menu is bold and personal, nothing watered down for a wider crowd. Book early or plan on missing it.
They fry the doughnuts to order, so you're eating them warm and a little crackly at the edges. It's a small menu done exactly right. Get there before the line does.
