Food Scene

They also have a location just one mile from here. Coffee is amazing! The baristas are well-trained. Food is on point and ingredients are high-quality. It's a gluten-free cafe, BUT you can't tell. Delicious. The owner, Teddy, is a local, and we love him. Good guy who treats his employees well and is all about quality.

We enjoy their Panang Curry. The vibe is a bit hilarious (purple decor and R&B music playing) but adds to their character. One side is a new addition that looks nothing like the original (purple) side. Near downtown.
