Located in Uptown, this unassuming coffee shop lines its walls with an eclectic mix of art (mostly big, pirate-esque ships) and keeps the lighting dim. A small cup of coffee will set you back $1.40, leaving plenty of room to get something to nibble on and still spend less than $5.

In the center of the Northeast arts district, Diamonds Coffee Shoppe has been quenching the thirst of local artists, bikers, and game-players since 2002.

At Isles, a small cup of coffee is $2 and if you have the budget to treat yourself to a puppy dog tail ($1.25), or two, I highly encourage you to do so. It’s a delicious cinnamon-y delight and the best part is, you get to frost it yourself. That’s right, the tub of cream cheese frosting is right there for spreading with wanton abandon . Put a touch in your coffee for sweetness and relax; your day is off to a great start. [Photo Courtesy ">Isles Bun & Coffee Facebook page ]
