Great coffee shop during the day. Good wifi and lots of outlets if you're looking for a place to work. After 5pm it turns into a wine bar with a great selection and a nice vibe.

Amazing breakfast, brunch and lunch food. It can get very busy and a bit pricey but it's absolutely worth it. A sister-restaurant to the ever popular Gjelina, this place is more casual, mainly outside seating and overall delicious. A must visit.

This is just a fantastic Taiwanese restaurant. They don't take reservations so you might have to stand in line for a bit but it is 100% worth it. It also happens to be very affordable.
We recommend the Dan Dan Noodles, the scallion pancakes, the pot stickers and the 5 spice bamboo shoot salad.
