The Sentient Bean
This local owned coffee shop has a lovely courtyard and a menu of soups, salads, sandwiches and pastries. A favorite of Savannah's residents and visitors, the restaurant has plenty of vegetarian and vegan options as well as fair-trade coffee. The menu changes daily according to what's fresh, and in the evenings they often host live music, poetry, or comedy. Truly a gem for relaxing after a long day's walk or charging yourself up for a day of exploring downtown.
