👋 Shafaq here! I love a casual, late-night hangout spot, so I headed to Pavon Coffee Den, which expanded its hours to midnight earlier this year and recently added more outdoor seating.
Dig in: Pavon is a Montrose cafe with indoor and recently expanded outdoor seating.
Parking can be tough, but there's street parking nearby.
My experience: I've been there a few times now, and the coffee has unfortunately been a gamble.
The first time I came, the barista recommended a good ube latte. When I returned this week, the ube latte and the pandan charcoal latte (both $8) were watered down. I also wanted more flavor from both.
The vibe: Dozens of people were chatting and studying or working, with light background music playing.
The bottom line: Good late-night third space with OK coffee.
