Crane Coffee

Description: Coffee, vinyl, vintage, and books

Comments: This is inside of a larger space called The District Exchange. They have their own corner though, and while small, it’s cool. There’s a bookcase, a case of vinyl records, and a large table for groups plus some smaller spots off to the side. So not a ton of seating, but there’s some more in the larger building that’s shared between all the shops. Outlet access, both here and in the entire space, is challenging, so charge your laptop if you're coming to work or study.

This whole area is nice though. Downtown Concord is like a Hallmark movie town. Family owned and local store fronts, bookstores, coffee shops, restaurants, a library, and all of it very walkable. There are a ton of third places in the area to hang out at, just check the map. If you’ve never been, it’s worth a trip. And if you come here specifically, there’s a bakery down the street called The Sweet Life with great cinnamon rolls.
