While I usually drop in for a cup of Joe and a quick snack when attending the hospital for out patient services, this café really shines in that it offers free delivery within the hospital complex. Typical offerings are entrees (about $7), salads, cookies, breakfast pastries and the like. Major credit cards are accepted and the hours of operation are from 6:30 AM until 11:30 PM

We come here regularly to meet customers working at the hospital. Nice open space, great pastries, and great coffee. Great location right in the hospital. read more We come here regularly to meet customers working at the hospital. Nice open space, great pastries, and great coffee.

Lucky for us, the building still stands. I found the column’s whisper quiet sway to be hypnotic.
