Food scene
Not really a coffee place and not really a restaurant but, man, those bagels can't be beat. They supply bagels to Bidwell Perk and another cool breakfast and lunch place, Bellachinos Cafe. BTW, Bellachinos has a quaint patio, cute and cozy.

Arguably, one of the better pizza places in town. More importantly, it's located in the center of downtown with sidewalk seating for catching the evening scene. Popular, good beer, and lots of fun.
