Good coffee, baked goods, breakfast and lunch. Built in a renovated bank, there's even an old vault you can sit in. Sweet, outdoor seating in the good weather.

Parks & Nature

This "linear park" is a great place for a walk or a run, and starts a couple blocks away on Cedar Street (across from Maxwell's Green). It's a lovely walk into Davis Square, but goes about 12 miles into the more rural town of Bedford.
