I take food seriously — and when friends visit, I make sure they eat right. These are my go-to spots for showing off the city. Come eat like you’ve got a local showing you the way.

The is the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had. Meat eaters have options too. If you vegan I can’t wait for you to try them.

I don’t have a single complaint. A smoothie is always a must with any meal I get.

Coffee First. Everything Else Later.

For me, coffee isn’t optional — it’s essential. These are the spots that get me moving, talking, and maybe even smiling before 9 AM.

I get the 5 spice cold brew and Gallagher sandwich every visit! The 5 spice has so many beautiful layers flowing perfect together mixed with oatmilk. No tummy issues đŸ„č Grab a book and fresh pastry or sandwich. Either way everything else is good.

This Calls for Wine & games

A glass for the catch-up, a bottle for later. Priorities.

Board games, axe throwing and amazing food. My favorite food to eat here is the black bean burger. They use to make fresh donuts in house. That’s how long I’ve been loving this restaurant.
