Ciro's is a down to earth family owned restaurant, and people watching is one of the pleasures of dining here. It is fun to see happy customers digging into big bowls of Pasta, foot long Stromboli's, large platters of Pizza and delicious looking Subs.  Maybe it's all the carbs but we always leave Ciro's happy. Some favorites are the Romano ranch pizza, the Chicken parmigiana Sub, the Shrimp basket, and Onion rings.  An especially good deal is the Thursday night Spaghetti special, with salad and garlic bread for under $7.00.

This family run bakery is low key and unpretentious but get ready to be impressed. The scrumptious array of gourmet cupcakes makes it tough to choose just one flavor, and they have sugar free, gluten free and vegan options.  They also have cakes, cheesecakes, brownies, pies and croissants.

My favorites here have been the Latin American specialties. I'm crazy about their Flan and Tres Leches cake, and love trying out items that are new to me such as Alfajor, two shortbread cookies sandwiching a creamy caramel filling.  The desserts are generously portioned, reasonable priced and you may enjoy them in the shop while you access your email via the free wi fi internet access.

And don't forget Dolcery Desserts is a full service bakery that makes cakes for all occasions, choose from the extensive cake menu or design your own unique cake.  Recommended!
