I love this place for breakfast & brunch. The specials are fantastic and the normal menu items are also delicious. I have my Sunday mimosas made with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice instead of OJ. YUM

A delicous spot for breakfast and pastries. The long line can look intimidating, but it goes quickly. Healthy options, and lots of unhealthy options too! If you order breakfast, you get a $1 cupcake.

Decent Middle Eastern at good prices. The lentil soup is probably one of the best things on the menu, & the Mona's special is a great deal. They also have a small grocery and sell hookah supplies.

Known for it's burgers and huge, strong drinks. The only menu items are burgers & steaks, baked potatoes & a side salad. The $10 Monsoon will certainly do the job if you are looking for a strong drink
