Better Living Through Coffee

Espresso on a chilly gray morning, comfortable chairs, amazing view. The pastries look good with multiple gluten free options. There is a bar space with five high stools to drink your coffee. Most people are sitting at the 8-10 wood tables and chairs. One comfy leather loveseat, one comfy leather sofa and a small backless leather bench. Lots of windows.

This coffee shop is BY FAR the best coffee shop I have ever been to - and I have been to coffee shops around the world. Inexpensive, organic and absolutely delicious espresso drinks, pastries, salads, soups and pies. It's so rare to find a place that uses all quality, ethically sourced ingredients and doesn't cut corners. You cannot beat the waterfront view and the super cozy, friendly atmosphere. I practically live there it's so wonderful. Try the egg, ham and cheddar pastry! It's my favorite breakfast dish - the blackberry tart with whip cream is worthy of daydreaming about and the blended iced Mocha is remarkable.

Amazing local coffee shop! Try the caffe arancia. You won't be disappointed!

We've come here several times over the last 4 years and have been feeling less and less excited every time. It's not bad by any means, but we had both a coffee and a tea at our latest visit in November 2019 and neither was that good. It's a cozy spot with great water views and a hipster vibe.

First place I head to for coffee after a long drive from the Bay Area!

BTLC is a hip, down to earth establishment that offers awesome coffee, and so much more! They focus heavily on serving locally sourced and sustainable food and coffee. Whether it's their quiche or their cappuccino, you can be sure they are using amazing ingredients, and that really shows in the taste and wholesomeness of their food. The shop is placed right up along the Sound with tons of window seating. If your in the mood for a walk, you can step outside with your coffee and take a stroll down the beach. Love this place!

We had THE BEST oat milk lattes!!!! They also had a Vegan lentil soup on their menu board, but we didn't try it since it was 7 am 😉. Great friendly service!

Great place any time of day. They offer a great variety of loose-leaf black teas (like Assam, Darjeeling, Ceylon, English Breakfast, Keemun...and they’re *good!*) as well as sweet and savory food options. They were out of their great salmon quiche, so I ordered the salmon chowder and full salad as my breakfast. I devoured both, almost missing the two little salty crostinis tucked next to the chowder! The place looks over the water, and you can enjoy the fresh breezes and your hot beverage of choice from a wooden chair or soft sofa. As a tea-drinker, this is my all-time fave place in PT. If you plan to come back, make sure you get a punch card for your beverages or cookies.

Amazing coffee. Had the sea salt caramel latte and it was made to perfection. Cozy place too.

This is where you start your day on a sunny Saturday morning at 7am when the sidewalks are empty and the morning sun is starting to stream over the water and into their windows. Warm, happy with wonderful smells of fresh coffee and cinnamon. The pastries are sinful and they have a great selection of fresh, healthy breakfast items if you're coming in from the morning jog.
