Cafe e Dolci
Small and cozy, Cafe e Dolci makes for a perfect cafe to grab a treat, a meal, or to hang out in. From many trips with friends to this cafe over the years, Cafe e Dolci has quickly earned its spot as a top favorite place to eat in at. This cafe has a large menu that ranges from small treats and pastries to meal-like foods such as crepes, soups, and sandwiches. You can order online, too, if that suits your fancy! Perfect for all weather, this cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating! Cafe e Doli’s gelatos are also a sweet summer treat for any hot day.
Its small location and comfortable atmosphere makes it a perfect cafe for studying and general work on those quiet hours – there are several available outlets located close to indoor seating if you have a laptop, too! This cafe also has a small lounge, completed with a faux fireplace and a small library books if you simply wish to hunker down for a good read.
Brick & Brew
Bigger than Cafe Dolci, Brick & Brew is a much more proper restaurant! While it is not by any means massive, it’s warm atmosphere and tasty food make it a wonderful place to sit in and eat with friends and family! Its menu has an array of appetizers and courses – it is most well known for their burgers and oven-baked pizza (of which comes with an array or toppings, of if you are feeling a craving you can customize your own!) It is constantly a wonderful meal, not matter what your pick is!
Brick & Brew is a two floor establishment; the main floor being the main dining floor, and located downstairs is a bar for friends twenty-one and up! During the warmer months of the year, Brick & Brew has outdoor seating located behind the main building! For this outdoor seating, you are not required to go inside first to get a table, as there is someone to help seat you located near the entrance (and exit) to the outdoor dining area! This outdoor location makes a fantastic dinner spot with the warm lighting from fairy lights and the soft bustle of music!
Cow Patty’s
While Cow Patty’s may take a small trip to get to, it is by far a wonderful restaurant! I have personally only been twice, but it has easily been some of the best dining experiences to date bot visiting wise and del food wise. The building may seem quire small when you first walk in, but there is plenty of room around the corner! This restaurant also has a bar, though this one is directly when you walk in!
While Cow Patty’s menu primarily focuses on an array burgers, there are other options of salads, hot dogs, and more! Most notably, on my first visit there I was pleasantly surprised to find that Cow Patty’s had alligator bites – something I’ve only ever found in southern states! If you are looking for something new and tasty to try, this place is certainly a go-to!
