Masters Kitchen & Cocktail

Masters has retained the industrial charm of its space—it used to be Masters Automotive shop, built in 1939—but added new executive chef Andre Clark. He’s turning out short rib tacos, grilled cheese with San Marzano tomato soup, and vegan options like a mango wrap stuffed with flash-fried jackfruit. masterskitchenandcocktail

Revolution Roasters

This café is serious about its locally roasted coffee, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t also try the flaky almond croissants, pecan sticky buns, and avocado tahini cucumber toasts, preferably from the sunny patio. revolutionroasters
