| - I walked in here after finishing a long cycling ride. The refrigerator by the counter was stocked with a nice selection of beers, sports drinks, fruit juices, and even chocolate milk (a great recovery drink). We glanced at the menu but our attentions had already been captured by the description of a Chicken Pesto Panini on the specials white board to the left of the register.
We sat down in the small but comfortable eating area. It's decorated with various mementos of the owners & their employees but there is a side table stocked with dominoes, puzzles, chess pieces, and books inviting one to stay awhile.
Then the owner brought our food out and the sandwiches were very well made. Hot and freshly grilled the melted provolone melded well with the pesto and red peppers. But the most surprising taste was the side dish of "crunchy slaw" a mixture of cabbage, a very mild apple vinegar, sunflower seeds, and ramen noodles. To say it was delicious is to put it mildly.
With a relaxed atmosphere, friendly owners, great food and a variety of beverages it'll be the place I stop in when I need a bite to eat in the historic downtown.
