Definitely a unique place. Thought it was a consignment shop from the outside, which is what initially drew me in. The owner seemed friendly and chatty, and perhaps like he needed a few extra hands around to help out. Food could use some seasoning, I couldn’t stomach it (lots of refried beans and cheese in the burrito), but he’s just re-opening so it takes a minute to figure out recipes. Probably won’t visit again unless it’s busier.
What a unique and fun place. The space is small, but cozy, intimate. The owner is a lot of fun, very friendly and makes the experience feel unique. The hours are a bit odd now, given the owner's current run for mayor, but if you can find a time when a show is booked, it is definitely worth a visit.
I walked in to kill some time before meeting with friends. It was my first day in town and I had a memorable conversation with Bill. His wonderful artwork is displayed around the entire cafe. I didn't order anything because I didn't have much time, but the prices were reasonable and Bill was still welcoming. I will definitely have to come back and check out more of the art, drinks, food, and hopefully live music.
