I work nearby and frequent Cafe Fresco in the morning for coffee, for takeout lunch and occasionally for cocktails and dinner. I have NEVER been disappointed. The coffee is delicious, as are the muffins, baked oatmeal and eggs. Lunch is consistently above average, particularly for this area. Their salads are especially good. It does get busy and crowded, but you can always call ahead and pick up your order at the bar. Speaking of the bar, this is a great place to go for happy hour, or anytime for cocktails. Best of all, this joint is SMOKE-FREE. Love love love that. I would go here before anywhere else in the city, except that I go so often sometimes I get burned out on a little. :)
Pros: Quality of food, ambience, people watching, smoke-free
Cons: a little pricey, sometimes service can be a little slow
