C.C. Ferns Coffee (CLOSED)

What does a Brendan Sodikoff coffee shop look like? Exactly what you’d expect—there are Doughnut Vault doughnuts, espresso drinks and Rare Tea Cellar teas, plus boozy steamers, spiked steamed milk drinks last seen on the menu at Dillman’s, Sodikoff’s now-closed Jewish deli concept. The nutty Scotch & Honey is made with Famous Grouse, almond and honey, and it’s just as enjoyable to sip it while perusing the art books stacked around the cafe as it is after dinner. The space, located behind the California Clipper, which Sodikoff owns as well, has a Bohemian vibe, with mismatched furniture, but a humidor and bourbon bar keep this place feeling like a Sodikoff joint.
