The only place in town with Jean-Luc Godard DVDs and $2 coffee
Briefly

Faye's serves $2 tiny drip coffee and offers an eclectic selection of DVDs, greeting cards, birthday candles, and unique art from local artists. The cafe, known for its attention to customer preferences, maintains a loyal clientele. Owner Justin Lawrence curates offerings based on regulars' tastes, such as saving a muffin for elderly customer Joe. Faye's survives amidst typical cafes by creating a community atmosphere and fostering relationships with its patrons, who contribute stories and character to the establishment.
Still coming to terms with David Lynch's passing? There are DVDs of "Blue Velvet" and "Mulholland Drive" for rent by the register, along with an impressive selection of his other films.
Justin Lawrence, the shop's owner, removed a banana chocolate muffin from the pastry case because he suspects that one of the long-time regulars, an elderly neighbor named Joe, would like it.
"People like Joe are the reason I still like coming to work," said Lawrence. "He's always got a story, and I don't think I've heard the same one twice."
In a city of cafes focused on just coffee, Faye's owes its survival to its attentiveness to its customers. With its eccentric offerings and even more eccentric regulars, it gives the people what they want.
