This is a vegan bakery but as a non-vegan myself, I LOVE their pastries. Their food in general is delicious, as are their "adult milkshakes." Highly recommend.

This relatively new bar/restaurant is a mere 2 blocks from our home and is a neighborhood favorite. It's a good spot for brunch with your family or dinner & drinks with friends. They have great beers on tap, a really solid food menu and very friendly staff. The atmosphere is slightly upscale chill, and in the summer, they have a large wrap around patio to sit out on! Chris and I are regulars there and we love it!
