With a symbiotic relationship between the kitchen and bar, this is another one of our personal favorites! They have a selection of rotisserie meats and feature tons of local produce and house-made cocktails. You'll find things like fresh pappardelle pasta, lavender-anchovy rubbed leg of lamb and a beef brisket tartar along with an intriguing Sunday brunch menu, complete with hilariously-named house cocktails. Give bar maid extraordinaire, Katie Rose, a high-five from us if you go! And if you buy a round for the kitchen (see the bottom of their menu), they ring a bell and cheer.

Another punk rock kid favorite! Hi-Fi Cafe is a coffee shop offering various coffees and espressos, teas and juices, breakfast items, sandwiches and snacks, pizzas and pastas. The food’s not great, but it’s still a fun little place with a diner-like feel and good musical vibes. Have a bagel and a coffee and soak up some old-school Bay View.
