Gio’s Café

Gio’s Café will surprise you. As you enter the deli, you’ll discover a cozy Italian kitchen with checked table cloths and a delicious menu of meat, chicken, seafood, and pasta dishes. Other offerings include freshly prepared Panini sandwiches, sausage and peppers, and arrancini. Portions are large and the price is right. A BYOB restaurant.   

Pleasant House Bakery

(Update: Now known as Pleasant House Pub, with an expanded menu as well as a selection of specialty beers and a full bar.) Pleasant House Bakery is a small café offering their own recipe of British-inspired, locally sourced meat pies (aka "Royal Pies"), as well as deliciously prepared fish and chips. The flaky crusts, plentiful savory fillings, and welcoming attitudes are sure to please.
