Super popular breakfast spot with homemade breakfast items and fast service. They can accommodate larger groups with advanced reservations but usually you can just put your name on the list and wait outside. Don't forget to grab a seasonal streusel fruit muffin to go!

A bustling European-style coffee house with an awesome patio great for people watching outside of the Delta Grand Hotel. Gio is always behind the bar with his Italian charm and he will make you whatever your heart desires. You MUST try the raisin scones, they're my favorite!
