Victor's Celtic Coffee
It’s called Victor’s, but Victor is no longer the owner. Despite the space expansion to accommodate more caffeine junkies, there have been reports of getting kicked out if you hog a table for more than an hour. The new owner, Walter, must favor me, since I’ve claimed space for more than 2 hours on several occasions without attracting a glare or growl from the staff. They’ve got to-die-for lemon bars and ultra-rich desserts, live music on weekends, not to mention their own specialty coffee combinations such as the Java Jane: shots of espresso, milk, sticky chocolate syrup, caramel, then topped with swirls of chocolate whipped cream. Just make sure it’s Walter that’s making your coffee and not one of the inexperienced baristas—otherwise it all just tastes like a baby’s boring steamed milk. No debit and credit cards accepted, and no wifi. But this Irish joint is worth it if you need a Starbucks alternative.
