You’ve heard of them, or maybe you haven’t. They’re those cool, pricey, low-key places with the weird food that the mainstream restaurants haven’t even thought of yet. Here are the top places to eat if you’re a hipster (or you secretly want to be).

So hipster that they barely use social media, Inkwell is the place to be for a chill, late night on the Jersey Shore. They specialize in unique coffees and an interesting selection of fries.
2. The Wormhole Chicago, Illinois

If you think of hipster as a place that has their own DeLorean time machine from Back To The Future, then this is the perfect hipster place. Travel back in time or into the future with a taste of their locally roasted coffee.

This cafe defines themselves in three words “Bikes. Burgers. Beer.” Not only are they known for their interesting array of hanging bicycles, but their healthy foods such as their 650 Bean Cakes and Broken Spoke Dip are also very popular.

Who do hipsters call their best friends? Cats! Cat Town Cafe is known as America’s first cat cafe, and creates the perfect formula for a perfect hipster. Better yet? Cat Town Cafe also serves as an adoption agency for these fur babies. Like I said, purrrfect hipster.

Located in Petworth, a place known for its hipster style, this is the perfect area for the congregating of hipsters. Especially because the region is shaped like a mustache.

The scene is filled with skinny jeans and flannels. What gives more hipster credit than that?

With a love for artisan breads and cheese, this place holds the hearts of all the hipsters who cherish a good, unknown ingredient. Kale? You know it.
8. Benny’s Pizza

Known as the home of the Virginia slice, Benny’s serves one of the largest pizza pies known to man. A hipster tradition is to be unknown, “Benny” keeps his identity secret, creating a different name and theme for each of its locations.
9. Hob Knob Cafe Boone, North Carolina

Calling their cuisine “American(ish)” food just seems hipster in itself, doesn’t it? This cafe serves local and organic food that calls to hipsters all over the, cold beanie-spotted, Appalachian Mountains.
10. EggSlut Los Angeles, California

Why just eat eggs for breakfast? Here you can enjoy eggs all day, everyday. Like Hazel Grace, the ultimate fictional hipster claims, “I mean, seriously: How did scrambled eggs get stuck in with breakfast exclusivity?”
11. Bocado Atlanta, Georgia

Bocado has a rotating menu consisting only of fresh and local ingredients, leaving the food constantly playful and creative. Not only that, but the wine and beer selection is all craft. With an interesting industrial atmosphere, you’ll never want to leave.
12. Hillside Farmacy Austin, Texas

The most unique grocery store I’ve ever seen. You can buy groceries and enjoy the best comfort-food dishes inside an old re-done drugstore building; hence the creative play on words with their name.
13. Tres Gatos Boston, Massachusetts

Add books, music and food together in a place that looks like a quaint corner home and you’ve got Tres Gatos. Here, they believe that sharing these three things is essential to happiness in life, and the local hipsters agree.
14. Root Down Denver, Colorado

With gluten free, vegan, local, organic and natural ingredients this is the place to be for the ultimate hipster foodie. And to make themselves even more appealing, the entire place is powered by wind power and uses 100% reverse osmosis water to cook and clean #ecofriendly.
15. Starbucks

You may think that Starbucks is the least hipster place on the planet because it has turned into a major chain, something hipsters usually try to avoid at all costs. But, Starbucks still holds some strange magic in its coffee and atmosphere that will always call to all hipsters everywhere.
