Agora

"This beloved Montrose coffee house is open daily until 2 a.m. and offers a cozy European atmosphere, complete with wine, beer, and Greek snacks. There are plenty of corners in its two levels to get comfortable while enjoying the old-world ambiance, excellent coffee, and a nice booze selection." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley

"Tucked behind a wall of shrubbery, Agora is a great place to work late into the night (they're open until 2 AM). The Greek decorations are perfectly suited to the name, and the space feels warm and relaxing. Head up the narrow stairs, drink in one hand and the other tightly gripped to the rail, find a corner and settle in. If you're tired of working, come on a Wednesday night and a troupe of belly dancers will be there providing entertainment." - Curiosity and Curiosities

"Agora is one of those places that everyone has been to. If you haven't, put the Dupont Circle restaurant on your list, because the Mediterranean food here is fantastic and it’s a fun place to be. The laughter and good times are infectious, and it’s a spot best enjoyed in a group, especially since it’s all small plates. Come for lunch or dinner, which is a calmer experience than the haphazard all-inclusive brunch. Expect it to be packed all the time, both inside and on the patio.The htipiti, a red pepper spread, is a star across all menus and is so fresh and bright that you might be smiling before you take a bite." - Tristiaña Hinton

"Agora, Montrose. Tucked behind a wall of shrubbery, Agora is a great place to work late into the night (they're open until 2 AM). The Greek decorations are perfectly suited to the name, and the space feels warm and relaxing. Head up the narrow stairs, drink in one hand and the other tightly gripped to the rail, find a corner and settle in. If you're tired of working, come on a Wednesday night and a troupe of belly dancers will be there providing entertainment."

"Sink into a couch with a bottomless cup of coffee at this inviting Montrose staple. In addition to a cozy seating area downstairs, the Greek-themed house has a quiet second-floor with small tables surrounded by tree-facing windows. Grab a large pastry or muffin to keep you going until as late as 2 a.m." - Alex Vickery
