Food Scene
Saints and Sinners Bakeshop
595 Pine AveThey have an insane lavendar scone that will blow your mind!
We recommend this restaurant for so many reasons, the ambiance is stunning, it is located in a very old bank original to the city in the Victorian era I believe. The food is great, the cocktails are even better and on some nights there is a secret "speakeasy" downstairs in the vault with live music..

Our friend Jeremy is the co-owner of this pizzeria and it is pretty neat! It has a darker goth vibe, with vintage video games in the entrance. It is within walking distance from our home and the pizza is fantastic! technically they only have a food and alcohol license so people under the age of 21 are not currently allowed. GrubHub, however, does deliver 4th horseman pizza!

Our friends Angie and Kat own this beautiful establishment. They source everything locally, ethically, and pay their team well. It is a little on the pricy side, but well worth it. Their food and drinks are prepared with love and intention, not to mention everything is extremely tasty! We highly recommend hitting up WEOP for a nice breakfast or lunch. It is a popular location so there might be a small wait... but believe us when we say, it is well worth it!
