Description

Step into Silver Palate and let the kitchen do the talking: sun-warmed outdoor seats, a pastry case brimming with croissants and cakes, and a brunch menu that earns loyal fans for pancakes and inventive breakfast tacos.

More information

Long-time locals have noticed a recent shift in front-of-house personality: while the kitchen still produces standout pastries and brunch hits, the café appears to be rebuilding its service team.
