Did you know about Niche's incredible back patio? It almost (almost) gets me to unhate wicker furniture, which is saying a lot. The terrace is interlocked brick and the furniture is a healthy mix of metal and weaved seating. There are lots of different kinds of seating too: bistro sets, tables for four, a few benches around an iron coffee table and a monstrous glass-topped picnic table underneath a sprawling umbrella.
Did I also mention the huge slabs of limestone in the fence? Or the perfectly pyramidical topiary beside a FOUNTAIN? I shouldn't have to. It's an amazing spot.
Oh, so they do a solid all day breakfast here. I'd recommend the eggs benedict, and their coffee is quite excellent. The interior of the cafe is nothing special, so I would "make hay while the sun shines" and check out their patio post-haste.
Obligatory Title Pun: A respectable RECESS.
Menu Readability: They use a really nice old-timey typeface.
Need to mention: No Wi-Fi!
What this place teaches me about myself: Isn't it weird when people put idioms in quotes? It's "ever so strange."
