Skip this place if you're looking for a good happy hour. They only offer specials if you're seated AT the bar (not even in the bar area) and the bar holds less than 15 people, so it's always full.
Vibrant but casual atmosphere. Consistently great food and coffee. A local favorite.
Amanda AllisonApril 23, 2011best open face egg sandwich i have ever tasted. plus their coffee comes with animal crackers as a side treat :)
Eat the calzone. It’s crowded and parking sucks but worth it.
Go to Open City and get a soy chai. Dunk the animal crackers in the chai before eating! For dinner, try the Fresh Pie pizza or the Mussels with red sauce.
Jennifer WangJune 9, 2013pot of mussels, drinks come with cute animal crackers or cookies on the side
The Open City (N)OMELET is the way to go, folks. Hashbrowns and bacon INSIDE? Yes.
Jessica DraperAugust 26, 2014Monday night and we ate outside. I got the burger/draft beer Monday night special for $12--not bad. However the service was painfully slow. It took forever to even get my beer (a good 5 min at least).
The spinach dip is amazing, and the salmon dinner is the bomb! And I absolutely love my gurl Aj! Superservice!!

Tirdad KiamaneshMay 27, 2017I do not recommend it, menu was not interesting. The staff were not friendly and the service was poor. Cafe was not fresh.with that price, Omni hotel has a great buffet with 25$ an lots of options.
veggie scramble w/ boursin, side of potatoes and a croissant subbed for toast ftw
Andrea NewlandSeptember 5, 2011Very generous portions and love their spin on a House Salad with artichokes and dried cranberries!
Marie Claire AMay 8, 2012Ask for the gluten free menu. So many great options. But avoid the bun/bread-less stuff.- Cuban coffee is super delicious. Makes for totally sweet Instagram pics!
Ben LaMasterApril 10, 2012The hummus is awesome, as is the chicken salad sandwich with homemade chips
Really like this place, but wish they wouldn't have taken artichokes off their side salad.
Zahid ZamanSeptember 2, 2012If you want to get seated, bring 7 babies with you, otherwise they will ignore you. Parties of two have to wait at least an hour for brunch (idea for future: invest in fake strollers).
Gluten free chocolate cake is wonderful (even if you don't have to worry about gluten!).
