Food Scene

A bakery/café located in an industrial park just a short walking distance from the house, this gem is inspired by Brooklyn cafés and Parisian boulangeries. They have a varied breakfast and lunch menu consisting of mostly locally sourced food, a great selection of coffee, breads, as well as decadent desserts. Mon-Fri they after 5:00 pm do the BEST sourdough thin crust woodfired pizza!
