The most darling market and one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood. The brisket sandwich is one of the best things on their menu as well as their biscuits and tomato gravy for brunch on the weekends. You can also grab any staple groceries and quality, local organic produce, coffee beans, wine, etc. that you may need.

After a peaceful walk or jog in Forest park, head down to this lovely little french cafe and bakery, tucked into a quiet corner in the bustling NW alphabet district, for a treat. With the signature clay firebrick oven overseeing the action, our master bakers knead, bake and handcraft some of my favorite french-inspired pastries. My favorite is getting the bag of a dozen choquettes to share.
