Favorite local place for coffee, food, and even a quick beer in the evening. Lots of themed nights throughout the week. Some outdoor seating in the back with cool mural art on the walls.The staff is always attentive, and very allergy-conscious (I have a peanut allergy). The fried chicken sandwich is one of my favorites. And the grilled cheese and tomato soup is essential. - MELVV
