Food Scene
We love this espresso bar! The barista Josie is the best (and very friendly). The egg sandwich on an everything bagel is my favorite. They have happy hour beer and wine here, too.

Great wood fired pizza! Lively atmosphere, and if you go early, it's also kid friendly. Fills up quickly at night and on the weekends.

Great bakery / lunch spot / coffee shop. Definitely worth the long wait in line! They have lots of freshly prepared foods, too - if you need to pick up lunch or dinner. Awesome sandwiches.

My favorite take-out middle eastern food place! I could eat their labneh and za'atar bread every day (not joking). My husband prefers the lentil soup.
