| - We checked out the Ocotillo coffee bar in the a.m. which was absolutely delightful. Delicious homemade pastries, good beverages, and a quiet, pleasant, stylish and spacious courtyard in which to hang out (with both sun and shade, grass and concrete, even with bike parking!).
Went back later for brunch - lots of affordable vegetarian items on the menu, and they did not disappoint! Portions were large and we had a really delicious fresh salad. However, they seemed a bit understaffed and while service was fine, it wasn't memorably fantastic. But the worst of it was that there seemed to be some sort of bachelorette party going on with a truly horrible DJ - soulless, bass-thumping "music," way too loud. There was nowhere you could sit to avoid the music. Unfortunately I couldn't wait to get out of there. The music ruined the whole ambience as it didn't go with the space at all - something more mellow and soulful (and not quite so loud) would have made the experience so much better!
