Crema's Take
“Lardon's thoughtfully curated charcuterie boards are the real draw here—fresh, well-balanced, and clearly made with care, making it worth ordering even if you're just stopping by for coffee. The space works well for lingering over traditional drinks and light food, with reliable dine-in service and pleasant outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. Just know that consistency can be hit-or-miss depending on when you visit, so go in with flexible expectations.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Parking available.

Given the warmer temps in November, we dined here for an early lunch and asked to sit outside which they happily obliged. We ordered a pastrami on rye which was delicious. The marbled rye was lightly toasted and had the best crunch to complement the dressing and meat. Each bite…
