Saffy's Coffee & Tea Daily Guide: Operating Hours, Location, and Latest Updates
By Robert Thorne
Finding a parking spot along Fountain Avenue requires patience. Saffy’s maintains a dedicated on-site parking lot directly behind the building, accessible via Fountain. However, with roughly a dozen stalls shared alongside daytime delivery vans, the lot fills completely by 9:00 AM on Saturdays. If the lot is full, check residential street parking along North Normandie Avenue or North Kenmore Avenue. Pay strict attention to posted street-cleaning signs, particularly on Thursday and Friday mornings.
The outdoor patio seating comprises roughly 20 to 24 seats, arranged under generous umbrellas with boundary planters shielding guests from sidewalk movement. Tables turn every 25 to 35 minutes, making seat snags manageable even during busy spells. Leashed dogs are welcomed on the patio, with staff frequently leaving fresh water bowls out by the tree wells.
For visitors pressed for time, online ordering through major delivery and pickup aggregators goes live around 8:15 AM. Placing an order 20 minutes ahead lets you bypass the standard ordering queue and head straight to the marked pickup bay to the right of the register.
