Beans in the Belfry

Excellent Reuben sandwich. Bottle and can beer. Check soup specials. Kids abound and will love the live music. Unpretentious. Street meter parking or use the commuter lot down by the tracks - 2 block walk. WiFi, just ask for access ID.

This entire building is art. There's no describing it unless you go inside. It's a remodeled church turned cafe with tons of space for hanging out on couches, playing board games, sitting and reading, etc. There's a children's corner for playing (but it's not at all loud). Whoever designed the interior is a creative genius: the paint and the decorations are gorgeous. The food is excellent, too, with generous portions: soups, salads, sandwiches, pizza, and so many amazing pastries and pies. Excellent coffee selection. A treasure house that you must see to believe.

I just wanted to say that I gasped and gawked when I first walked in the double doors and and observer said, "First time here?" with a knowing smile.  The food (best biscuits and gravy) is so, so, so good.  

This is a bit of a divergence, but for those who care about such things...my boyfriend luuuurves the bathroom.  

(This doesn't warrant any star demerits but a suggestion for to-go cups is cardboard rather than styrofoam.)
