Description

Aesthetically, the excess of microbrew swag might seem a bit much for this small Market Street space, but that quickly fades into the background when the relaxed but attentive staff brings glasses of cucumber-infused water to the table. What's more, a quick survey of the menu reveals a wealth of exceptionally well-composed sandwiches with appropriate names, like the Dagwood, a generous stack of turkey, ham, swiss, cheddar, and bacon. Even in cold-weather months, K.I.S.S. miraculously gets its hands on top-notch produce, which means the deep selection of vegetarian sammies is reliably stellar as well. Toss in all-day breakfast and an affordable wine list, and the result is a consistently satisfying neighborhood cafe equally suited for a languid afternoon lunch or as an easy spot to pick up fixings for a picnic at nearby Golden Gardens.
