SK Coffee Whittier 
This is a small, neighborhood shop along Lyndale that offers high-end coffees. The coffee is often specially sourced by the company and can be very tasty and interesting. They've got an assortment of snacks for sale. It can be tough to park as there's none along 24th outside the shop. Still, a good place to get a cup and settle in for a while. There are about a dozen 2-person tables and, usually, one is available. Busier in the morning and quiet in the afternoon.
