Sweet Corner Cafe
Restaurant
👍👍 What a unique experience! We walked in and quickly realized, like we have been told by someone that a lot of places are take out and not necessarily dine in, that this establishment isn’t used to dining in. Wasn’t an issue and Chelsea (the absolutely lovely server we had) was the nicest and most acc...

👍👍 My husband and I are from Harlem NYC and wanted some southern food. When I tell you this restaurant didn’t disappoint. Chef was very attentive, friendly and explained how he was going to prepare our food. We had the shrimp and grits, it was so good, we had to go back to our hotel to take a nap. This...

‘Aiwi Waffles
Breakfast restaurant
👍👍 If I could give the service more than five stars, I would. Really cute family I think. Not sure if they’re actually related but the lady that runs it/mom is super ( call me ;) pretty. Also, they use real maple syrup so don’t get it twisted if you’re thinking, they use log cabin.

The owner is always experimenting with new drinks and food items, which keeps things fresh. Great place to study, read, or have so...

👍 I've been seeing many posts on my IG feed of the wonderful looking Poke bowls and salads. Since I had business in the building, I decided to stop by and try the food. Be prepared, the bowls won't be cheap eats. They serve fresh fish and it shows. No previously frozen fish. I took the bowl home and w...
