Within walking distance of the condo, this place is great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a quick bite or snack. They have great coffee and pastries and amazing drinks and beer menu. Their decore is great too. I highly recommend Moondog Cafe for any meal, especially if your group can't choose on one type of cuisine.
