Brunch and coffee
Local upscale artisan coffee and backery cafe. Indoor and outdoor seating very relaxing even with Covid 19 restrictions. Pastries are holiday cater worthy but don’t pass them up on the everyday. Also serves wine and cocktails in the evening with Charcuterie board. A true gem!

A bit of a drive but a great repurposed eatery redesigned from an retired elementary school. Beers, coffee and cafe a memorable setting. Don’t spent too much time in the “Principal’s Office” ;)

Create a memorable experience with your family or colleagues by ordering the $35 “make your own rice wrap” platter. Enough grilled shrimp, marinated beef, and chicken to feed four hungry adults and then some. Caution: smacking her fingers highly likely!
