Literally one block from condo. GREAT spot to walk for coffee in the morning. And a good place for breakfast when you've just arrived and don't have provisions. Plus they have happy hour every afternoon. We like the breakfast burrito, the breakfast sandwich, and the daily soup. Sponsored by local charity.
