Tatte has some outdoor tables although it is on Wisconsin so probably not as nice for this as Maman

new French cafe where LPQ was just opened over the weekend.

Get a coffee at Qiartermaine and sit on Bethesda Lane. Within spitting distance!

Or Philz and then sit in the Streetery.

Fresh Baguette has a small patio, but it's very close to the parking spaces in front. Also I don't think they have a coffee bar if you have a specialized order, just plain coffee, but maybe that has changed.

Pancake House

I loved going to Le Pain Quotidien for a mid-morning coffee, but it's closed. I know Paul also has outdoor space. Anything else in downtown, where I won't be sitting next to construction or within spitting distance of passers-by?
