Our favorite Thai food in the city. We haven't tried a dish we didn't like. In fact, we like it so much we are regular's here. Offers both carry out and dine in options.

Italian style coffee and espresso served old school with an aim for the authentic italian coffee experience (as I haven't yet been to Italy I can't vouch for this, but it is a local favorite). They serve Berardo coffee, a coffee roasted over a wood fire outside of Rome, known for its toastiness and dark chocolate taste. Indoor seating is limited but they have a nice outdoor covered patio space.
