What people go for here
Solana turns the Granger Hotel's restored Parlor Room into a warm specialty-coffee destination rather than a routine hotel counter. The Golden Honey latte, careful espresso, rotating brew-bar coffees, and fresh croissants are natural starting points, while sofas and upholstered chairs support conversation or a laptop session. Arrive early for pastries and leave extra time when the compact bar is busy.
- Golden Honey latte
- Iced Americano
- Vanilla latte
- Croissants
Worth knowing: The compact hotel coffee setup may take longer than a typical grab-and-go counter when several orders arrive together, so allow extra time before a meeting. Visitors wanting breakfast should arrive earlier because the small pastry selection may be depleted around noon. Enter the Granger Hotel and head to The Parlor Room rather than looking for a separate street-front coffee shop.

The coffee
Direct-trade, locally roasted micro-batch coffee in a hospitality-led setting.
Solana brings a defined coffee program to the hotel setting: the host identifies craft coffee at The Parlor Room, while an independent specialty-coffee directory describes locally roasted, micro-batch medium roasts. The documented direct-trade positioning makes the rotating coffee offering the clearest starting point.
