Super cute spot downtown that specializes in cupcakes & serves yummy breakfast and lunch options along with Intelligentsia coffee. There’s inside and outside seating (it’s not the biggest place, but if you’re not going with a big group–this is a good option). There are kid options on the menu. They have mini cupcakes too, so that’s an added bonus if you’re celebrating something or just looking for a fun little treat for the kiddos–or yourself ;). This spot is also right by Kid’s World/Alameda Park and Alice Keck Park (aka Turtle Park), so you could always pick up your food and picnic it up.

Downtown: Lots of delicious eateries here (it’s basically anelevated food court)! You can pick what you’d like and then sit together at the open seating areas; there are also tables outside. Our fave spots for food there are Empty Bowl & Corazon Cocina. And if you get drinks at The Garden, they let you bring in food from any of the other spots.
