Pip Coffee + Clay is the hippest hybrid on 24th Street. The industrial-chic space, which boasts a coffee bar, clay studio, chic boutique, and coming-soon natural wine bar at night, is the ultimate place to throw back a cold brew and throw down some clay as in wheel throwing. Take a ceramics class or sign up for open studio time. Newly opened by graphic designer couple Mara and KC Bonnem, who share a love of coffee and clay, the place is brewing with creativity.

Popular beers include Refuge, the “flagship IPA incepted in our founder’s garage,” or so the menu states, as well as the DON T F#%K IT UP Blonde Ale and the Belgian-style witbier Sonora White. The food rocks, too: We like the PB&J Burger and the duck fat fries.
