"A local coffee shop and restaurant just off Florida Avenue that regularly programs live music and supports area artists as a community gathering spot." - AFAR
"Big Bear Cafe is fit for intimate weddings. The menu is seasonal, and much of the produce comes from the herb-filled patio garden, which also makes for the perfect wedding backdrop. On-site ceremonies for up to 90 guests are available for a $500 fee, and can be held indoors on its second-floor space or outdoors on its romantic cobblestone patio." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"Soak up some vitamin D while working outdoors on the cobblestone patio at Bloomingdale’s cozy coffee house and restaurant. Munch on dishes like a breakfast sandwich topped with eggs, caramelized onions and arugula ($9) and a falafel wrap that includes fried ground chickpeas, cilantro, cucumber, yogurt, and sumac ($12). The cafe’s hours range from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays)." - Kalina Newman
"Bloomingdale’s trusty cafe has local market and pantry items including eggs, milk, butter, Reid’s Orchard apples and canned peaches, pasta, coffee beans from Ceremony, and more. Order ahead via the website." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
