This local chain is all about satisfying your cravings: breakfast goers can channel a bit of Europe with chocolate croissants; lunchers can sink their teeth into egg salad sandwiches; and ice cream seekers can grab a cone of Rocky Road at any hour. Ceramic tile tables, dark wood chairs and large, comfy booths make for an inviting place to eat delicious treats. And believe you me; there are many delicious treats.

Ice cream-wise, you have your vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. But why would you go neopolitan when you can have flavors like Blue Moon (described as having the taste of Fruit Loops) or Espresso Oreo? There are many, many ice cream flavors from which to choose, and listing them all would make me drool. So, as a service to us both, I will move on. One noteworthy treat amongst the shakes is the Awake Shake, a concoction of ice cream and iced coffee, topped with whipped cream and caramel. Non-fat yogurt, sherbet and sorbet, no sugar added ice cream and soy ice cream please those with dietary quirks.

Elegant Ashby's tea and 26 blends of Royal Kona and Lion Coffee do the trick as far as beverages go. Cookies, scones and Danish make for a quick snack. As far as food appropriate for a meal, quiche, hot paninis and sandwich do the trick. Try the Citro Lemon sandwich, a layering of fresh tomato, cucumber, scallions, lettuce and your choice of meat or cheese, draped in original lemon citrus dressing. De-lish! .
