Busy cafe always seems filled with intellectuals, students and readers. Tasty creative salads and soups with freshness as the main ingredient... fantastic flavors in really simple foods like chicken soup. Maybe terragon or chervil? Mmm. I am not a huge fan of bread, but when I do eat it I want it crusty and artisinal. This place is beyond quality. It actually is better than Panera/Paradise. The food here is freshly made...not premade at a factory like Paradise/Panera. Coffee here is not an afterthought. Lots of blends and single source options keep Charbucks out of this plaza. Who doesn't hit the bookstore after eating...it is like marketing borrowed from Crackerbarrel. Buy me a new book before I eat and I wont vacate my table for hours. Come to think of it, that may be why the cafe is so crowded!
