Food scene
Great family owned breakfast and lunch place! Their hours can vary so you may want to call ahead before walking over (though it's only a few blocks away so is a quick walk). They don't have a lot of seating but is a great place to get takeout food - highly recommend their fried chicken or fried fish sandwich.

Great farmer's market on Sundays that's about a 15 minute walk from the condo. There are typically 10-15 vendors , local produce ( awesome citrus, strawberries, peaches, blueberries, etc), a few bakeries, and food trucks with a variety of foods. We're particularly fond of the vendor that makes fresh hummus - 'Obour'.
