Tasty bevs, live music, amazing parking and a back patio are key components to a great spot, but the real magic is from the owners and regulars here.

This is easily the worst matcha I have ever had in my life. I stopped in on our way to watch hill…read morefor a quick coffee break and ordered at the counter. The drinks took about 10 mins to come out which was very surprising given that there wasn't a line. There was a long queue making me think that they are popular but no one else had a matcha so maybe it was for the smoothies and coffee. Husband ordered the coffee and said it was fine, he did order decaf and I'm pretty sure they gave him regular. My matcha was thick and grainy, not at all well mixed and I could still literally see the powder. It ruined the whole drink entirely and I took a few sips trying to see if it could be palatable but it was truly disgusting. Will definitely not be back.

Old Man Joe's is the kind of neighborhood gem that makes you feel like you've stumbled into a…read morelocals‑only secret -- the kind of place where the coffee hits right, the bagels are legit, and the vibe is pure comfort. The bagels are the star: perfectly chewy with that slight crisp on the outside, the way a real bagel should be. None of that fluffy bread‑with-a-hole nonsense. Whether you're grabbing a classic bacon, egg & cheese or going all‑in on a specialty spread, everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. Service is exactly what you want from a beloved breakfast spot -- friendly, quick, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the team cares about the regulars, the newcomers, and everyone in between. It's the kind of place where your order might be remembered before you even say it. The atmosphere has that old‑school charm that feels increasingly rare: cozy, unfussy, and full of personality. It's the perfect stop whether you're fueling up for the day or grabbing a weekend treat. Old Man Joe's doesn't try to be trendy -- it just nails the basics with heart, consistency, and flavor. And honestly, that's why it stands out. A must‑visit for anyone who appreciates a real bagel and a real neighborhood spot. Cheers

Until I went to Pompelmo Gelateria, if you asked me if I liked gelato, I'd say it's fine, but I'm…read morenot a big ice cream/gelato person (lactose ). BUT Mel makes absolutely killer, world renowned gelato that it's flipped my whole perspective on gelato. She and her team are so good about allergens and cross-contamination- there's always multiple gluten-free and vegan options that make no sacrifices in taste or texture. My go-to is some sort of fruit flavor (limoncello/mojito/forest berry) + dark chocolate and it always slaps. Last- I have mad respect to business owners who continue to work in their shop day in and day out. It's pretty common for ice cream shops to be staffed by high school kids which is fine, no shade, everyone needs a day off, but Mel being there scooping really ensures the quality of the gelato and cleanliness of the shop stay at the highest level. no doubt!
