Food scene
One of our favorite breakfast and lunch spots with something for everyone on their menu. I recommend the oatmeal with pecans and cranberries or the Paperboy (2 eggs, hashbrowns and toast). The pancakes are perfect and the large bacon order is great for sharing. Daily coffee flavors are available. Their service is great!

We have been eating here for decades. There may be a line out the door of this tiny diner, but once seated, the food is quickly delivered. The menu is extensive and particularly delicious after a night of bar hoping. There is a fun diner counter that often boasts no-waiting. I would call Merry Ann's my favorite greasy spoon.

Busy, busy; do not plan on dining in! A quick wait in line results in an amazing breakfast (allday!) These breakfast burritos are incredible. My favorite is the Chief (chorizo), yum! Orange juice and coffee will round out your meal. Cracked provides a memorable meal!

In the heart of Campustown, Kung Fu Tea has amazing fresh poke and the largest selection of boba tea I have ever seen! Colorful marketing pictures will help to make your selections. Make sure to grab the poke form at the door; it is a must to place your order. I recommend the tuna and salmon poke bowl topped with edamame, seaweed salad, tobiko, eel and mango sauces. Top it off with a Thai milk tea...WOW!

In the heart of Campustown, Pokelab has a quick and delicious poke bowl menu. The kids need to order one of the many Ramune Japanese soda flavors; dropping the glass ball into the bottle is so much fun!
