The best breakfast on Alberta St. Started as a small shed decades ago..expect long waits on weekends, but enjoy a cup-o-joe in the garden area while you wait. Great people watching spot.

A destination in itself. Whimsical and artsy redesign of an old grade school into a living room style theater, "Detention Room" bars, and classic NW food menus. Don't forget the soaking pool!
