Something about Hillside Farmacy, weekend brunches, patio dinners, and cocktails just make you feel better. Perhaps that’s due to its historical landmark location in the lovingly renovated 1950s Hillside Drugstore. Or perhaps it’s the fresh, carefully selected seasonal food that comes from local farms and onto your plate is just good medicine. Weekend brunches are WALK-IN only.💚 Hillside Farmacy
