Full service restaurant, but the owner has a passion for baking, so you have to try her baked goods. Always some gluten free treats in the mix- everything is wonderful. Healthy bowls for lunch and breakfast and great coffee- local favorite. Best in the fall through spring when they open the big garage doors and let the breezes in

Amazing food! Try the meza mixer for a great introduction to their menu. I love the tabouleh and grape leaves, and my husband loves the chicken and rice. Be sure to try their drinks too- The sage iced tea, the hot sage tea, the turkish coffee, and the mint tea/lemonade are all wonderful.
