Every day 11AM-8PM

This cosy lunch & early-dinner spot on a quiet, leafy block offers subtle and surprising yums. Gluten-free tapioca “tacos” are stuffed with fresh veggies, hummus and egg (and chicken, if you like). Bowls that my daughter called “enjoy-a-bowl” brim with mushrooms, greens, soft cheese and more. The wrap-of-the-day pairs perfectly with a fresh fruit juice or açai smoothie.

Seating’s on the sunny side of the street (at lunchtime). The rickety chairs could use an upgrade, but the people are lovely and accommodating of dietary needs. Substitutions, no prob! Daughter wished her bowl had one more flavor or texture counterpoint. Me, I wished the tapioca could be more moist. The pink is fun, though! Beet juice ... I hope?
