Food Scene

They have yummy strong coffee, delicious food menu, and a cool friendly vibe. It's not the most inexpensive place. But, its worth the few extra dollars if you have it.

Best burger and beer spot. Period. They have a ton of great craft beers and the burgers are legendary. Plus the place is usually busy, so fun/good hang out.
