What people say, in short
Lofty Coffee is recommended across its outlets, which people name in two settings: the Little Italy shop and Terminal 1 at the airport. Two diners tie Little Italy to dates: one praises the salty caramel latte and says the area is great for a walk after a date, and another recalls a Saturday morning date that started there. A couple name the Terminal 1 outlet as a coffee option, one noting it is before security; another says it is great for simple regular coffee. One lists it among solid multi-location spots with good coffee, food and vibes.
