Even as I write I am enjoying a blissful soy latte from their fancy espresso machine. This is a regular place for lunch because it's one of the few places in the area where you can take someone for a nice meal and pleasant atmosphere (but brace yourself for how the noise bounces off those concrete floors and marblesque tables). The tab for lunch is a shock but the food has always been impeccable in my experience. A nice selection of baked goods are by the counter but timing is important; they are wonderful when they are fresh and disappointing when they are not. Many are grateful for the delicious gluten-free options. Service is hit and miss and tensions behind the counter (can't we all just get along?) can make you glad that it's too noisy to hear what they are saying to each other.
