Some viewpoints, like Monte Carlo, are hard to find, not accessible by car, and lack railings; others, like Mont Boron, might have trash or be hangout spots.
Expect coffee prices to be high, as reviewers note this is common everywhere these days.
Some coffee shops are not laptop-friendly, so plan accordingly if you need to work.
