The baked goods are hearty and authentic, the painted tables and art on the walls make it an inviting hangout. When I was there last, they had some old Billie Holliday songs playing in the background, and I sat by the window and ate apple cinnamon rolls and listened to my friend tell about her relationship troubles. It's an open, freeing kind of atmosphere where good conversation can happen. Sundays get a little crazed because there are zillions of families and groups of friends there and the lines get long. Counter people are fallible, but nice about correcting their mistakes. This is one of my favorite places.
