I have been going to the Paisley Violin for years, since it was on Roosevelt. It has always been a neighborhood favorite.
Everything is fresh, homemade and delicious. From the daily soups to the sandwiches, the coffee and espresso, you can't go wrong.
The service is always great, everyone is warm and wonderful.
Don't be shy about the area, despite what you may think or hear, it is a nice neighborhood (I live blocks away) and things are changing fast.
And it is always great to patronize a wonderful, independent neighborhood business.
