The food is simple, fresh and a good value. Everything they sell they make themselves, including the fresh baked muffins, scones, croissants and the great lunch specials. It's a little crowded during morning and lunch rushes, but when it's warm you can grab your food and sit on the picnic table outside, or head north to the huge park. Local artists get wall space beside the huge windows. With friendly staff, hot coffee, fresh pastries and an ever-changing lunch menu of homey treats there's always a couple of tables occupied. Heads up though - they only take cash. <reviewer- AEC>
