"Once you’re seated on the sprawling covered patio at Juniper Cafe, you’ll almost forget you’re in a shopping center overlooking a parking lot. The airy space, the beautiful tableware, and the pastry counter set a calming mood before a menu is even dropped off. And when the food does get dropped off, the experience keeps improving. To stay cool, there are Vietnamese coffees and creative, fresh house-made sodas and cocktails (we particularly like the breezy gin-based Patio Country). Snappy appetizers include crisp fried okra and beautifully fragrant mussels, and with an unfussy all-day menu anchored by banh mi and noodle salads, there are no bad choices here." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff & Contributors
