Aurora Coffee
As in Little Five Points, the Aurora in Virginia-Highlands wasn't designed to be a cozy hangout, but now there's wireless. The coffee Aurora's blend of Batdorf & Bronson beans is exceptional. Food is limited to scrumptious pastries. The Va-Hi location is smaller than Little Five's, but there's still room to sit down and spread out. Mon.-Fri., 6:30 a.m.-7 p.m.; Sat., 7 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sun., 7 a.m.-7 p.m. 992 North Highland Avenue. 404-607-1300. www.auroracoffee.com Best of 2008: Coffee
