It's a bit of a walk (or hire a bike) but worth it. Everything is baked in house. Owned by a school friend of mine it has the character of the old neighbourhood. This is NOT for yuppies. Truly local.

Quite famous for the beautiful waitresses, it's also a fabulous spot for morning breakfast. I would say the good points are mainly the location, outdoor seating and people-watching.
