Grass-fed burgers done right, and the best veggie burger I've ever had! They also have amazing hand-cut french fries (truffle, cajun, sweet potato, or regular), and sweet plantains. It's a great lunch and/or carry-out spot.

This bakery, coffee bar and upscale diner does everything well. When you have the time for a sit down full breakfast, this is an above average option. Grits & eggs, breakfast hash, and blueberry pancakes are some of my favorites, or if your sweet-tooth is really screaming, the Nutella French Toast is out of control!
