Cafe$

From pickles to pastrami, this humble, community-driven spot makes almost everything in-house. Kids are given chalk for doodling, and staff are friendly enough to feel like family. An old-school meatball roll gets a fresh twist from basil-almond pesto, while chicken melts are just the right side of oozy. New specials each weekend keep regulars coming back.

Good to know: Hot sauce from the side cabinet adds the perfect kick to any dish.
