Food Scene
When you walk outside of The Coffey Grounds you might get a wiff of pure joy. That would be the aroma of crusty little love pies baking across the street at Tiny Pies. You would never think that Basil and Strawberries combined would turn out to be as glorious as it is. The bakers start at 5:30am sharp to make sure the neighborhood is delightfully scented.
