"Avoiding discomfort is important at breakfast, too, which is why Early To Rise earns points for their counter stools. The NoPa brunch spot mostly has tables and booths, but if you end up at the coffee bar you won’t have to call your chiropractor on your way out. These chairs hit all the marks—they’re smooth and taut, have a footrest built into the legs, and are ideal for anyone who just spent $300 on a “high-density” mattress topper. Enjoy a house-made bagel and lox from your leather throne. " - julia chen 1
