We love Upper Crust's many salads or sandwiches for lunch and quiche and baked goods for breakfast. Need a cake last minute? Drive downtown and pick one up - you can't go wrong with any cake in their case!

You can't go wrong downtown with Tres Hombres' shrimp tacos or anything else on the menu. If there's a wait, ask to sit at the taco bar. The children's park is across the street if you need to entertain little one's while waiting.

Best small theater in the West! Check out the Pageant's latest foreign film, documentary or special event short films! Better yet, get there early and sit on the couch in the front row.
