Truffle fries in an iconic showroom setting.

Truffle fries, Burger, Lobster roll
What makes it special: Truffle fries in an iconic showroom setting.
8.3
A Gold Coast all-day cafe that wins on dependable, diner-plus execution—hearty plates, calm neighborhood energy, and a menu built for repeat visits. The best move is to stay in their comfort-zone lane (hashes, omelets, steak-and-eggs) where portioning and seasoning land most consistently.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pulled Pork Hash, Mexican Steak & Eggs, House Omelet
What makes it special: A true all-day neighborhood cafe with reliable, hearty breakfast plates.
#3
La Fournette
8.0
An Old Town French bakery-café that locals use for grab-and-go bread, pastry, and simple café lunches. It shines when you treat it like a daily utility spot—pick up a loaf, add one standout pastry, and keep the rest of the order classic.
Must-Try Dishes:
Baguette, Almond croissant, Ham and cheese croissant
What makes it special: French bread-and-pastry counter with strong everyday utility for Old Town.
Worthy Picks
7.7
A high-energy Old Town bar-and-grill with an American menu that’s designed for steady ordering rather than a single knockout dish. It works best for sports, brunch-y daytime hangs, and group dinners when you want dependable classics and a lively room.
Must-Try Dishes:
Burger, Chicken tenders, Mac and cheese
What makes it special: Big, lively Old Town bar for American classics and games.
A newer, polished breakfast-brunch option on Wells where the menu leans classic-with-a-twist—big pancake plates, French toast variations, and skillet-style anchors. The safest play is one sweet plate and one egg-based main for the table so you can gauge what’s hitting best on your visit.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pancakes, Strawberry Crunch French Toast, Farmer's Market Eggs Benedict
What makes it special: A bright, modern brunch menu with strong sweet-and-egg variety.
