This favourite local hangout is literally built into a wall! Especially busy for weekend breakfasts, its popularity seems to stem from complete indifference to anything "normal". This whole set-up is quite endearing--a rabbit warren of tiny rooms, a large communal table and a row of milk crates with cushions lining the outside wall. Passers-by often stop to talk to patrons--or grab a crate themselves for a quick coffee. While the menu is limited, toasted pide breads, topped with eggplant, goat's cheese or artichoke are nice with a great coffee. Besides, who needs an extensive menu while enjoying a relaxing Sunday breakfast?
