"Cafe Rowan transformed a former Starbucks into a light-filled counter-service cafe where you can pop in for an Americano or stay for a leisurely weekday brunch, mimosa in hand. You won’t leave this Creston-Kenilworth spot with enough leftovers for another meal, but that’s not the point of little luxuries like the Dungeness crab benedict dressed with white truffle hollandaise and garnished with shaved purple daikon. Simple items also get an upgrade like avocado toast that’s tastefully amped up with spring peas, mint, meyer lemon tahini, spiced pumpkin seeds, and a garlic chile oil drizzle." - krista garcia
