Cafe 477

A quiet weekday café near UTC serving single-finca Guatemalan coffee with plenty of naturally lit seating.

What people go for here

Cafe 477 is a calm, bright weekday hideaway where smooth cappuccinos and lattes, fresh sandwiches, friendly service, and plentiful tables make work or a relaxed lunch easy. Free Wi-Fi and short free garage parking add convenience, but the tucked-away corridor location, 3:00 PM close, and weekend closure reward a planned daytime visit.

Cappuccino
Breakfast sandwich
Hot oat-milk mocha
Brown sugar drink

Worth knowing: The café sits down a corridor within a professional and medical complex, so the outdoor umbrellas and building signs are useful landmarks. A 3:00 PM close and full weekend closure rule out late-afternoon and weekend plans.
