Food Scene

Great character and good coffee. Favorite lunch spot; our recommended lunches: tomato bisque, curried chicken salad, or egg salad avocado croissant. Paninis are great, too. Also a place to wind down in the evening with a glass of wine or enjoy a beer with friends. Flatbread pizza served in the evenings. Free wi-fi.
