The verdict/Worth the line·Bustling·Locals + tourists

Tucked into the Hyatt Regency atrium by a soothing artificial waterfall, this is the perfect spot for a high-quality local roast that moves quickly despite the crowds. The macadamia nut latte is a standout and the açaí bowls are a great way to start a beach day. If you're looking for a quiet, slow-paced sanctuary to linger over a book, the bustling hotel lobby energy is a mismatch for your day.
