Food Scene

Some of our favorite spots for good food.
Artisan breads and yummy pastries. Also good selection of sandwiches and salads to enjoy on the renovated warehouse premises (plenty of interior seating) or take out. Excellent value. I love the smoked salmon sandwich (or added to a salad), french onion soup, miche sourdough!
