ADEN is a cute little spot that is very good for sitting down with coffee and getting something done. It is usually calm, but never dead; just enough background life to make it feel nice to be there. I go here four or five times a week, which says enough.

Their coffee is consistently good, and the menu is a little more interesting than most places: solid coffee, good matcha, and a bunch of Yemeni teas and specialties that make it worth returning to. I am not usually the kind of person who can sit in a café and work for hours, but this is one of the few places where that actually feels possible.

I could not find any good photos in my gallery, so this slightly blurry picture from a few months ago will have to do.
