La Greka Coffee Shop

Description: Coffee bar tucked inside Compare Foods, a Latin supermarket on South Blvd, serving espresso drinks, flavored lattes, and Latin-inspired treats from a small counter near the front of the store.

Comments: This is the definition of a hidden gem. You have no way of knowing it's there unless you hear about it somehow. Nothing indicates its presence just driving by. It's a cool spot inside Compare Foods.

You can order a a drink, then grab a seat in the shared dining area used by the in-house restaurants, with plenty of room for a quick meeting or a short laptop session in what is a pretty lively grocery store setting.

Expect a steady hum of shoppers rather than café-quiet. Parking is free and easy, huge lot for the grocery store. And the menu has a lot of great stuff that leans into Latin flavors rather than traditional American coffee shop items.
