Great breakfast/lunch spot that makes its own rye bread and other delicacies in-house. Be sure to try a slice of the babka, which is great with coffee or take it to-go. Open Wednesday through Sunday.

Reliably tasty Cambodian food with friendly, attentive service. This is a favorite bet on a weekend evening because they'll usually have tables available. Try the pumpkin curry. They also deliver!

Nice selection of beers on tap and tasty sausages (with vegetarian options). Try the venison or wild boar if you're adventurous. Get sauerkraut, grilled onions, or peppers on top.

I get rice and beans burrito, super. People rave about their chicken mole and fish tacos too--but the real star is their housemade salsa. You can buy a mason jar of the fresh stuff from the cooler.

Great spot for coffee and a fresh gourmet donut. Get whatever's warm, or the spiced chocolate flavor. Check out their back patio, which gets gorgeous afternoon sun even on chilly days.

Best tacos in the misson, in my opinion. And definitely the best sign! Get the taco with soft and crunchy shells fused with melted cheese (not on the menu, just ask for it).

Drinks & Nightlife

The cocktails are OK, but the real reason to come to this dark and cozy bar is live music Wed. through Sun. featuring a Hammond B3 organ. You'll feel like you're in David Lynch movie, in a good way.
