St. Elmo’s Coffee Pub

St. Elmo’s calls itself Del Ray’s living room, and if you walk in on a weekend morning it’s hard to argue otherwise. Baristas serve up Stumptown coffee pour-overs and fresh, whole-leaf tea from Benjamin Tea in Chicago. Cold brews and seasonal iced teas top the summer drinking list. Plus, there’s live jazz on Thursday nights.
