Paper and Cup
When I heard that Celeste Shaw, owner
of Chaps Coffee Co., was opening up a
coffee and pastry shop in Kendall Yards, I
knew it was going to be great. Paper and
Cup is cute as can be with its “Millennial
Pink” wall, hanging iron flower pots, and
bright interior. They serve a variety of hot
and cold beverages along with some of the
pastry favorites from Chaps Bakery, like
my personal favorite, the “Maple Scone.”
They also sell some more filling items like
their croissant sandwiches, if you want
to stop in for a quick lunch. We tried the
carbonated house-made lemonade which
was the perfect refresher on a hot summer
day.
Kendall Yards was in desperate need of
a coffee shop like this. Paper and Cup is
on the first floor right as you enter The
Inlander building on the south side of the
neighborhood. Make sure you get there
before noon if you want a specific pastry
because they sell out quickly. There is
some bar seating that runs along the
exterior walls, perfect for grabbing a quick
bite or drink, meeting up with friends or
colleagues, and continuing on your way
through Kendall Yards business district.

Nectar Wine and Beer
Nectar is the perfect spot to unwind after a great day out with friends or after a day in the office. With wonderful riverfront
views and an amazing patio (are you seeing a trend here?), this is a great place to watch the sun go down over a cold beverage.
Nectar has a fantastic offering of wines both local and imported, as well as a rotating number of beers from breweries all
over the country. They also offer some small plates in case your appetite decides to show up while you’re there — which, if
you’re anything like me, it always does. This is a great spot to bring family, friends, and coworkers to enjoy a great drink with
wonderful atmosphere.
