Caffe Barista & Deli

A barista, a Deli, a great overall experience!: I worked on the same block as Caffe Barista, so it is an understatement to say I frequented the place. Just from peering in the window, it looks like a simple, mini grocery store, but they do have a lot more. They offer quality foods and goods, which can be hard to find downtown. Offhand, the prices may seem a bit steep but you will find out they are average or even cheaper than most places downtown. I've heard they have decent coffee, but their food is the best. Let me tell you to try their homemade cookies and muffins. If you get these when they're fresh (you can tell by feeling them or if they're fully stocked), they are the best in town. They also offer good meals for lunch including the lunch of the day, sandwiches, soups, and salads. They have fresh fruit, whole or cut up, along with other large selections of chips, snacks, and drinks. Their dining area is plentiful considering their space, and the staff is always friendly and on top of things. If you walk by, stop in... even if it's just for a cookie!
