Grab a coffee and a pastry at Eight Ball Coffee. It is open until 16:00 on weekends, so arrive early if you are going on a Saturday or Sunday. If you are visiting on a weekday, note that it closes at 16:00, so you may need to pick up your snack at a different spot or adjust your start time. For this plan, we assume a weekend visit to ensure the cafe is open.
