In Short
Far out decor and offbeat street signs line the walls of this bustling, zany diner that is as colorful as its patrons. Intimate booths offer plenty of hiding space for creative types looking to get a late night caffeinated fix in peace. Appetizers like the cheekily named "Going Back to Calamari" make for good communal plates, while vegans and vegetarians delight in the tofu scrambles, veggie sandwiches and vegan cheese pizzas. Hardcore espresso lovers opt for signature eye openers such as the Red Eye or Zombie. There are full plate entree options for the dinner hungry, but breakfast reigns supreme.

The environment here is accommodating to a younger crowd. Especially, the eclectic type in particular. Make a habit of it to try something new each time you check this place out. Grabbing a cup of tea and a few appetizers is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon here. Not to mention, it's open late nights so swing by after bar hopping in the Clark area.

This place is open 24 hours on weekends (and 3:00 a.m. during the week), and it's definitely the best bet for late-night dining if you're a vegetarian. The beer selection is ample, and the coffee is great. The mochas look like a piece of art! The decor is funky and the booths are comfortable, and the service has been friendly and helpful every time I've dined here.

My friend Laura and I are home-bodies, but there comes a time when we need to get some fresh air and some good food. We used to go to Clarke's and then I passed by the Pick Me Up Cafe and it looked adorable. We go there almost 3 to 4 times a week! It's very artisty(decorated tables and chairs and great music) and is accounted for every eating style; vegan, vegetarian, etc. I recommend the Magic Caps(HUGE portabella mushrooms stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella cheese) and the Veggie Platter with the Hummus(AMAZING). It's opened at all hours so check it out! =)
