Mr West Cafe Bar

I think this is a great cafe! It's locally owned, the food is great quality, and the prices are reasonable; especially considering that they have gourmet-style dishes and coffee. The ambiance is also good, it's comfortable with several seating options: patio, bar, low tables, high tables, and some additional cozy spaces. It's also not super loud, so you can have a conversation. The staff is always nice and although the line to order can be long at times (especially for weekend brunches) they do their best to be quick. I recently had the Brussels sprouts, roasted mushroom toast (which I got on a sliced sweet potato instead of on bread), and the muhammara dip, all of which were great. The Brussels sprouts were well done but flavorful and not dry. The sweet potato "toast" had well-balanced flavors and some greens as well, which I appreciated. The muhammara dip was bright and tangy, with a lively flavor that kind of smacked me in the mouth lol. After the crudite ran out and there was extra dip, I ended up putting some on the toast. The sweet potato really grounded the flavor and I will definitely do that again the next time I have those dishes. But those are just a few of their dishes, they have several great gluten-free and vegetarian options as well as some meat options. The only downside besides the occasional long line to order is that the door to the patio sometimes stays open and it can let some cold air in. But it's only an issue if you're sitting close to the door and most tables are not situated that way. So still worthy of five stars in my opinion.
