It's only steps away, and too cute for words! Definitely try the baked goods. And if you need caffeine, can't go wrong with the Keith Richards. Just ask.

It's fresh and delicious! We love the simple grilled fish plate with corn salad and grilled romaine. It's fast-casual, i.e. you order at the counter and then sit. But the prices are a little up there bc it's SO good. Be ready to face a long line.
