Bronwyn
255 Washington St German food and beer!
Great for people-watching, their coffee is good and sandwiches are also quite tasty. They have a fireplace in the back room with games and books for colder days, and in the summer their patio is beautiful.

Highland Kitchen
150 Highland Ave Food = A+, hard to get into but worth it if you can.
It seems like a chain coffee shop, but it's run by locals and is a nice place to get away from the bustle.

Drinks & Nightlife
Another good option for food, music, drinks, games, the local scene. I prefer the front bar if I'm having drinks with a friend or catching up. The back bar is more of a scene, with a DJ, games, shuffleboard, and singles. I recommend getting the chorizo with fries and a glass of wine.
