This coffee shop shares space with a still-functioning water flushing station built in 1888. Myriad environmentally-friendly features complement the cafe, both indoors and out. A wetland garden captures and filters parking lot runoff, and rain from the roof trickles into barrels and irrigates plants on the grounds.

Inside the tri-level cafe, many of the materials are recycled. The counters are made from salvaged wood -- some of which is 200-year-old pine -- from the pump room.

Unlike the nearby Alterra on Prospect, this location serves hot and cold sandwiches, salads and more, making it a great lunch spot, especially when the weather cooperates and you can sit outside.
