If you are looking for a good brunch spot without having to wait in line, I recommend Pauline's. Only the locals know about it and you can typically get right in. Freshly squeezed juices are a hit.

A vegetarian spot that's perfect for reading a book or catching up with friends. They don't have internet so if you're looking to get online, best try Starbucks on the corner.
