Pastry Case Rocks

by travelinglex

This place has an AWESOME pastry selection. To say that they have "a variety of baked goods" so does not do them justice... Yummy salads and all that too, but save some calories for the eclairs etc.

• Pros: Variety, Quality of food, Cool Loft Seating

Funky coffeehouse full of charm--and cases of sandwiches, smoothies and sweet treats.

The Scene
You can't miss this cool little coffeehouse/eatery with its terra-cotta exterior, green awnings and white-trimmed windows. The interior looks like an urban coffee warehouse, complete with high ceilings and a small loft where you can sit and enjoy a good book with your coffee drink and a tasty treat.

The Food
The menu is always in flux, but you'll always find salads, sandwiches, soups, hot dishes and large slices of focaccia in the glass cases. If you want to splurge, there's a variety of cakes, pies and cookies from which to choose. Breakfast can include such items as pancakes, French toast, veggie turnovers, ham and fried potatoes. There's also an entire case filled with scones, strudel, muffins, donuts and danishes to satisfy the most discerning sweet tooth. Beverages include coffee and tea, ice cream drinks and smoothies. Try the Pulp Fiction: strawberries, blueberries and pineapple juice.
