Small, hole in the wall coffee shop. They have a bigger cafe in south town. Good coffee, lovely atmosphere. They are also right on the way to the Farmer's market during the summer.

Amazing tacos! And try the DIY Guac as well. Not cheap, but definitely worth it for the food. They don't take reservations and tend to have a long wait list, so show up early.

A funky, fusion restaurant with nachos, burritos, and a variety of other specialty dishes. While the owners have changed a few times, the restaurant has been around for years (my parents went there back when they were in college). It is one of our long time favorites. This is a great place to go listen to live music on the weekends. Just a warning, it can be very loud given the small space.

Arts & Culture

A bit of local history from WWII. Fun fact, the main house on the property that you are currently staying was originally an officer's quarters in Camp Adair, built in 1940. It was later moved to it's current location and remodled.
