Unlike speedy in-and-out coffee shops, cafes indulge fantasies of sneaking off through misty European streets paved with pain au chocolat and lined with biscotti parking meters. Indulge in savoury streetside fare with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of coffee, tea, and sandwiches at Intercity Cafe in Clearbrook Plaza.

Famed for their chai lattes and fresh, organic coffee brews, Intercity Cafe also serves sandwiches, paninis, soups, and other sweet and savoury cafe fare. Specialty lattes ($3.05–$4.95) come in multiple varieties, while a range of espresso and frappe concoctions ($3.80–$4.60) dot the menu in more than 20 different incarnations. Once caffeine cravings have been soothed, customers can silence the ravenous troll alternately riddling and bellowing in their stomachs with a homemade soup, fresh panini, wrap, or calzone, all of which count herbivore-friendly options among their storied ranks.
