Our hands-down favorite coffee shop (little-known but beloved among those in the know). The ambiance is amazing, filled with homey, vintage furniture, a piano, and ample seating for a long morning breakfast while reading or getting some work done.

Great ambiance for a romantic night out. Live jazz every night at 8! A bit pricey, and the food is sometimes variable. We recommend the burger and the avocado, pork belly, and farm egg with bearnaise sauce app.

Craving sushi? We recommend sitting at the bar. Enjoy craft cocktails and beer while chatting with the sushi chefs, who will invent your signature roll if you tell them what you like! The quality of the seafood here is top-notch and flown in daily.
