"Get your imported foods, bulk dried grains and beans, fancy olive oils (and olives) and many things you didn't even know you needed. And cheese."

"Wonderfully spicy Bloody Marys. Is getting more popular--go early, sit at the bar. The french press is SUPER DUPER EXTRA STRONG. I love the soup!"

"Can be a tight fit with slow service during peak times (breakfast/brunch on weekends). Do yourself a favor and go for a leisurely mid-week visit if you can."

"Art of the cocktail. Tell them what you like/don't like for your drink and let the barkeep do their thing. Oh, and if you like conversation (as opposed to yelling) go upstairs. But make a reservation."

"Check out the day old bread and pastries for half-off yumminess!"

"mmmmmmMochas! The chocolate sauce is made in house. Yum!"
