I stopped by the Loons Coffee location today for a little recce, especially for the parking situation. It seems that the small lot in back unfortunately is often filled with tenants from the nearby apartments, even though these parking spots are posted for retail customers only. And they are also supposedly limited to short term use. No bueno.
The best parking for Loons Coffee and Longfellow Grill is in the neighborhood from what I saw today -- in particular, across Lake Street on 47th Ave. or on 46th Ave. just west of the coffee shop. There were lots of parking spots on those streets at noon today.
