Chris H.Chris Hart: The espresso is amazing, and they carry a good assortment of local chocolate

Alyx H.Alyx Hodges: An old bus converted to a dine in sit down little bistro inside. Not bad. Great mix of flavors and creative food. Crepes are whole wheat, "healthy", and also a little heavier than my family's.

XX: Excellent local brews! Plenty of outlets, free Wi-Fi, light snacks make this a nice study or work spot. Open patio is pretty, too. The wifi password is: tanzanianpeaberry
