Stopped in here for a coffee and the woman working offered to brew it fresh for me which was very nice of her to do, and not only did it taste good when it came out but it was relatively cheap too. On top of all that, she even offered to give me one to go and I walked away with a large coffee to take home with me for free. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Beer and alcohol selection is fantastic! Their chili dog is amazing! The food is priced well and the portions are large. Its on western ave/blvd 2 long blocks from the bookstore at ccac. Its my go to when i get out of class at noon.

Modern Cafe is a great place for locals in the Northside or for people in town for the game who want to feel like a local. You might bump into Randy from the infamous Randyland here, the food will be good, and the drink options are great. The outdoor bistro tables are the classic sign that spring has arrived. Sit, eat, drink, and people watch for hours.
