This local favorite is good for vegans on a budget. It's a bit grungy, and all the staff are painted with tattoos and piercings. Bottomless coffee or tea make it a good spot to camp out and get wired.

Good food and specials every day! If you buy a drink during the right hours, you get a wooden nickel, which is good for another drink at ANY time you choose. Not a good spot for vegetarians.
