Sweet Treats - Cafe Racer

---

Cafe Racer is supposed to have the one of the best coffees in town, but it is probably just as well known for the hordes of cyclists in fluorescent lyrca on the weekends. We just felt overdressed in t-shirt and jeans.

 

The food is simple cafe fare, focusing on items easily put together. Muffins, simple eggs, pies, jaffles, baked beans and soups, sounds like variety enough. Tastes pretty good too, as did their coffees.
