Charlotte Street Coffee Company

Charlotte Street Coffee Company is in downtown Boyertown, and owner Anthony roasts the beans himself. The shop spreads over several rooms, each decorated with care, with lamps instead of overhead lights and mismatched seating. It feels like a friend's house.

With all those little rooms, it's easy to find a quiet corner to work or have a conversation. The music's low. There are plant-based milks behind the counter, and simple syrup is out so you can sweeten your own.

The food's simple: pastries, bagels and a rotating set of donuts. The cookies and cream donut is the favorite. Pair it with a latte. Weekday mornings are often quiet, which makes it a good place to read or work.
