Palio Dessert and Espresso

"Palio may not be right on Hawthorne, but it’s worth the detour into the unique old Ladd’s Addition neighborhood, which huddles around a charming little circular park and roundabout. Palio is perched just across the street, a cozy and quiet location to sip a cappuccino while studying, or to bring a date for a shared slice of chocolate cake. Either way, you can easily disappear for awhile here." - Kevin M. Fitzgerald

"If you’re looking for a place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee with a view of Ladd’s Circle, this is your only option. The cozy, book-lined walls of the cafe surround tables populated by Ladd’s neighbors, who snack on chocolate chip cookies and slices of cake. After dessert, take a stroll around the rose gardens." - Nathan Williams
