Besides Tea Lounge...I just want to sit in a non-crowded cafe after 9pm, is that too much to ask?

I just noticed a little café that just opened on Union Street. Just east of 4th Avenue -- up the hill a bit from the Garden of Union.

No idea what its hours are, but it looks cozy.

Laila's isn't quite a cafe... but they do serve coffee. They are open pretty late every night, especially weekends.

Long Tan on Fifth Ave at Sackett is open late and isn't terribly busy at that hour. It's my fallback place for an all the kitchens are closed snack and hang out - there's the bar room in front and the bigger restaurant next to it. It's panAsian.

How IS that new place on Union anyway? It's open late?

Bar Minnow on the corner of 7th avenue and 9th street is also open late during the week, i think midnite? They are a cross between a restaurant and a bar. Theres also free wi-fi and an outdoor seating area (plus pool table.)

Bar Toto on 11th and 6th ave may work for you. They are open till at least 11 and it quiets down after dinnertime during the week. Friday and Sat. nights there's a bit more activity but midweek it's mellow.

Also check out the new place on the corner of 6th ave and 12th.
