Description

CLOSED This tiny, cozy neighborhood café, which used to be breakfast-and-lunch-only, now serves dinner. There's an organic chicken leg from Schultz Farm: Its crackly skin is topped with a salty olive relish and served with sauteed kale and a crisp-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside polenta cake. Charming, affordable desserts, such as a tart, lemony apple crisp, round out the meal.
