Hidden little gem that reminds me of something you'd find in NYC or LA. It's quite small and busy, but the drinks are pretty tasty and worth a little wait. I haven't eaten there, so if you do please let me know.

BACON. MAPLE. DONUT. This is neither a gourmet nor fancy donut shop, but their donuts are really good and the service has always been great. It's a mom and pop type shop, so don't expect a fancy interior/exterior. Their breakfast sandwiches are large and fairly inexpensive, too.

Essentials

Average grocery prices and a fairly decent selection. Pick up some groceries and prepare yourself a meal in the kitchen. They have a pretty good fresh sushi selection in the deli section. There are several items prepared that day and usually a chef making to order selections.
