Description

CLOSED Offering something for everyone, LoTo is a slick, contemporary, airy blend of establishments all strung together for your convenience. At one end there's a barista-and-nice-seating coffee shop, at another end a good bakery full of tasty options like eggy, fresh loaves of challah and rich, crumbly marzipan tarts. Betwixt bakery and coffee shop there's a full bar, with a nicely chosen, affordable wine list and a few formal seating areas. While LoTo never quite pulls together as a real fine-dining restaurant, if you are in need of a business meeting, coffee date, or drink during an art crawl and you also want a picture-postcard view of pretty Mears Park, you will doubtless find that LoTo offers something for you.
