Excellent hummus platter got our mouths watering, but the house-invented Sorda rocked our tastebuds. A mushroom, olive, queso combo with a light flatbread topper, the restaurant described its creation as a crunchy calzone. Much thinner than American-style calzone, and absolutely delightful.

The small establishment is nicely adorned and has a decent amount of seats for the space. The employees were also friendly and helped described their items for touristy me. I tried a dirty chai and it was quite strong with spices. I enjoyed it, but if you like a weaker flavor you may be in for a surprise. I also sampled an array of cookies and treats. They were all fairly petite and, although I really cannot recall their names, none tasted bad. Some just ok, some good, but none were great either. Be warned, cell service is non-existent inside, so plan to stay off the phone! All things considered, this place was a pleasant surprise on an otherwise chilly afternoon stroll.
