"I recently swung into the Mermaid Cafe for Saturday Brunch, and I could not have been happier. \n\nAtmosphere: Its a cozy coffee shop that feels a lot like Mother Fools or Electric Earth. That means it is a great place to just be, but not a good place for groups. There was limited outside seating on the sidewalk.\n\nFood: I can't speak to the omnivorous options, but the vegetarian options were delicious! The vegetarian Bahn Mi and the egg sandwich were delicious and complex. The unique play of flavors kept me coming back bite after bite just so that I could try and figure out what was going on in my mouth. I will be the first to admit that Tofu can go really wrong really fast, but this was delicious.\n\nParking: Plenty of metered street parking in front. I did not see a parking lot.\n\nService: Service is at the counter. The service was cordial and helpful. \n\nPayment: Cash or check only. I did not see an ATM.\n\nPrice: Price was about $8 per sandwich, which is a bit pricy. However, I felt that the food justified the price, and the price is on par with Marigolds and 4 and 20."^^ .
