    Multiple dates available
    Work from Shy Bird is like co-working, but at a restaurant, so better. The $17.95 price includes a choice of breakfast or lunch and bottomless coffee, tea, espresso drinks with a couple minor exceptions. We have many amenities conducive to working like second screens, dongles, printing, etc. WFH is cool and all but sometimes it's nice to get out in the world, right?

    This is one lively spot - great energy and reasonably priced interesting choices. We’ll be back! Patio looks awesome but too cold and windy today.

    Extremely bland Mexican. Charming interior in a good location but that unfortunately did not make up for the disappointing food.
