Five Leaves is a local favorite. Used to be owned by Heath Ledger. Neighborhood gem. Great brunch (ricotta pancakes!!) and also perfect spot for dinner with friends or a date.

This is a Scandanavian cafe/restaurant in a large shared work space. They have really good food and drinks. Try their pastries in the morning or something from their seasonal menu. Good wine selection at night. This is also a great location if you need a day time work space for you and your laptop.
