Staff Picks: Favorite Coffee Shop

"A funky eccentric evening coffee and dessert spot with live instrumental music. Check out the rotating tables, the underwater bathroom and the ohhh sooo bizarre atmosphere. A little like Grandma's house on psychedelics." - Drew



Rimsky-Korsakoffee is located in an old Victorian house. The only sign is tiny and right over the door, so it's easiest to find by its street number.



It's the sort of coffeehouse where you have a waiter and you get a bill at the end, rather than one where you order at the counter. There's origami and random objects hanging from the ceiling on string, and 'guestbooks' you can write in on the tables. And some of the tables, they do things you don't quite expect... There's live classical music most nights, a piano or a harp or a classic guitar. The bathroom upstairs is decorated to look like you're underwater, and it's one of a bunch of doors in a hallway with hats dangling from the ceiling. The other doors say things like, "No, not this door," and "You really better not to try to go through this door."



Needless to say, it's quite a strange, unique place.



On Friday and Saturday there's a $3 minimum per person, and there's a $1+ tip encouraged for the musician.
