Gentrification has never smelled so good. Or maybe it has, given that the arrival of an artisan coffee shop, with its distinct aroma of fresh, roasted beans, is among the earliest symptoms of a neighborhood about to be diagnosed with a case of the up-and-comings. The opening of the Doshi House Cafe, housed in a 76-year-old building on the corner of Dowling and Holman, proves that the historic Third Ward has a full-blown gentrification situation happening.

Expect solid coffee offerings from Greenway, delectable syrups made in-house and weekly performances by local artists. Don't miss the flavorful Mumbai Streets panini, best followed with one of Doshi's fresh-squeezed juice mixes.
