The Scene
This neighborhood standby's expansive menu offers something for every palate--vegetarian to meat and potatoes--all in the warm glow of Christmas lights against cheery yellow walls. A sunny outdoor patio draws throngs of sandal-wearing folk during the warmer months; inside, a general store offers books to improve the body and mind, plus a selection of videos for rent. The small smoke-filled Buffalo Bar, located between the store and restaurant, serves as the waiting area for busy dining periods (notably weekend mornings).
The Food
Served until 1pm every day (2:30pm on weekends), breakfast is a popular meal, with favorites like homemade granola (oats, seeds, raisins, cashews and honey) and spicy huevos rancheros. The lunch and dinner menus tempt with healthy, flavorful options like chicken burritos and farm-raised buffalo cheeseburgers, plus the mountainous salad supreme, brimming with avocado, mushrooms, peppers, onions, sunflower seeds and more.
