"If fully stocked pastry cases get you excited, go to Scenic Route, a 2016 election cycle staple in a neighborhood that has since exploded with development. “You cannot go in there without running into campaign staff,” says Jason Noble, an Iowa native who now runs statewide communications for the Warren campaign. “It’s not uncommon for principals to go there also.” If you find yourself on the west side instead, go to La Mie Bakery, another campaign operative favorite for laptops over coffee and pastries." - Gary He
