Communal Coffee opens new location in Bankers Hill

• Kaya's Brazilian-inspired lobby has mid-century design and tons of natural light and seating for 60 people at long communal tables (featuring several outlets!), couches and lounge chairs, plus more secluded individual tables.
• The indoor seating area is mostly an amenity space for tenants that Communal patrons can also use.
• The dog-friendly patio has views of the canyon and Olive Street Park, including the playground.

My order: The sweet mint cold brew and a smoked salmon bagel sandwich — one of my favorite items on their seasonal food menu.

• It's also tough not to buy cute goods from their aesthetic retail shelves.

If you go: Communal is open 6:30am-5pm Sunday-Thursday, and until 6pm on Friday and Saturday at 2710 3rd Ave.

• Paid and free street parking is easy to find nearby.

Editor's note: This story and headline have been corrected to reflect that Communal Coffee has access to (but does not own) the Kaya building's lobby workspace.
