Cheap Eats 2009

By Matthew Korfhage

Oh, I know, it's tiny and everybody's so gosh-darn emolicious in there that you don't know what to do except bury your head in one of the many zines lining the back wall. But the coffee's strong and freshly brewed, and the sandwiches, in particular the "decadent" grilled cheese with ham and onion marmalade ($6), and vegan tempeh, lettuce, tomato and avocado ($6.25), are rightly admired, as are the off-color names of the specials. A "Mama Cass," anyone? No takers? (MK)
