Food Scene

Absolutely the most convenient coffee fix and less than a 1/2 block away. Try the coffee (of course) but also the nibbles of food. Super local, they have chickens onsite and bees at their farm.

The local corner pub, gone upscale. Crafted was a part of The show Bar Rescue and it's totally transformed. Try pressed cocktails, or a good selection of food (i enjoy the burger) and a glass of wine or beer. Something for nearly everyone. Has brunch on Sundays - I haven't been since the makeover but it used to be great!
