Our favorite brunch place in town. Lovely pet friendly patio or inside dining with a hippie vibe! Vegan & vegetarian options aplenty as well as plenty of meat options. Everything here is good! Soup, salad, sandwiches, breakfast & baked goods. Have a mimosa or a glass of wine on the patio & relax! (My absolute favorite after yoga spot!) open til 2pm daily.
