Because you've got to eat - Tazza

TAZZA!!!!!

One of my favorite things to do on the weekends is to wake up early and head out to Tazza with my husband for breakfast. We started taking visitors there for granola, croissants, baguettes, coffee and tea three years ago, and now they all request it when they come to town to visit.

This little eatery is bustling during breakfast and lunch hours, but becomes more laid back at night. I highly recommend starting your day here by ordering granola with fresh fruit and yogurt (approximately $6.50) and your caffeinated beverage of choice, or by ending your day on a high note with a glass of wine (prices vary) and a prosciutto, mozzarella & arugula pannani ($8.95).

Tazza is well stocked with an assortment of other fresh baked goodies, salads, and sandwiches. If you're not a granola or pannini, there is likely to be something else in the pastry case or on the menu that appeals to you. However, if you are hoping to surf or work on your computer at Tazza while you are eating or drinking coffee, you will be disappointed as the owners don't allow computer use during most open hours.
