Soho-style (London or NYC, take your pick) café is where Magnolia Bakery meets Brazilian padaria. Neighborhood locals carb up on 30 types of bread like the Australian with chocolate and honey, made on location; cupcakes and flaky pastries in rustic-modern space, with exposed brick brought up to date by white and beamed low ceiling and purple walls. Lazy weekend brunch-goers catch up on who's-doing-what on outdoor cushioned banquettes and among groomed landscape, scarfing down omelettes and filet mignon sandwiches with BBQ sauce. Sexy breakfast buffet of pies, tarts, pastries, scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese and cold meats is sure-fire hangover killer. Café moonlights as restaurant in evenings, attracting casual dates heating things up over four types of house-made soup or dishes like penne and smoked chicken.
