Best baked goods, soups, sandwichs, salads, etc!

I take classes in the same building as the First Slice Cafe so I have had many occasions to eat there. Every order has blown me away... the quality, presentation and taste of their food is exceptional.

It is a little gem of a cafe, tucked away in an unlikely spot. I often invite friends and family to join me there and so far everyone has loved it.

Disclaimer: I haven't dared to try the pie because I worry that I will develop an addiction.

• Pros: Exceptional food for eating in or taking out.
• Cons: Can be crowded.

inspired eating in creative space

by mochisan at Citysearch

i've only eaten their fresh and tasty offerings as take out fare, but the atmosphere of light and art filled space is very welcoming to me, though it may be a bit bare bones for some. scones are tender, flavors distinct, veggie and goat cheese/duck sandwiches are my favorite, veg quiches are tasty. beet/pear salad refreshing and savory. even the salad dressing is unique.no complaints with anything i've tried. and knowing that your enjoyment is helping others with even more basic needs is an added, welcome, bonus.

• Pros: inexpensive, easy parking, calm atmosphere
• Cons: cash only
