Buddy’s Diner, one of my favorite local spots to eat. Come early on a weekend morning, this tiny diner car fills up fast and only stays open through lunch! A really great old school friendly, local vibe!
The best savory baked goods, good soup, strong coffee. The feta tomato squares are unique and delicious. Local artists featured on the walls.
