Busboys and Poets

I love this place! This is their third location I have visited and have not been disappointed by the atmosphere, service, and food. Today I had one of my go to favorites - the vegan tuna salad sandwich with sweet potato fries. My friend had an omelet with breakfast potatoes (both pictured here) and we were both very satisfied.

Nice selection of breakfast items. The food was good, the atmosphere is inviting, kid friendly and decent gluten-free options. Service was attentive but the coffee drinks were not hot.

This place is great if you march to the beat of a different drummer. Menu has a couple of options for the meat eaters, the gluten free, and vegetarian. If you don't know about the brand, (it's a bit of a chain) check it out. They really care about the community, and promote a chill vibe. As with the other locations, it has a bookstore. Unlike the other locations this site doesn't have as much of the trendy nonsense airs inside. Definitely a spot for a first date, an after graduation celebration, or to kick it with someone you haven't seen in forever. On my many visits I lurk at the bar, which seems to get mostly take-out activity, but it's totally serene, and ideal for lone diners. There's a TV, it's muted on news/the house channel 90% of the time, which forces you to actually socialize with other patrons if that's your thing. There's a small lounge attached to the bar, remiscent of "that local coffeehouse". This is great they don't show sports, because God forbid people are yelling about random athlete doing random thing in such a relaxing atmosphere. The staff is eclectic and friendly, and even the things they don't know, they still keep you comfortable in that cool, okay, demeanor they seem to have mastered. Check it out.

This place has always been great to me when I come to visit the city. They have a great range of food selections for all diets and lifestyles. Plus they have wonderful atmosphere for those that just want to relax for coffee or tea and do some work, read a book or look at art from local artist.

I have severe nut and peanut allergies and am therefore somewhat limited in where I can eat out, if at all. However, I was able to have a fantastic pizza at B and P, completely safely. Special thanks to Leon who reassured me that he understood as he himself has a peanut allergy. Thank you! ❤️
