You can run in for a take-out latte, but most folks at this easygoing, white-walled West Village hangout like to squeeze into a seat at one of the tightly packed wooden tables and stay a while. Bookshelves are stocked with an array of well-thumbed tomes in case you need a break from your own book (or laptop). The coffee is strong; the mint lemonade, mellow. Morning starts with the usual bagels, oatmeal and fruit-and-granola bowls; later, you"ll find cheese plates, salads and panini, plus sweet Czech crêpes and chunky biscotti.
