Great for a quick breakfast bagel and coffee. The lax bagel is exceptionally good along with a dirty chai (chai latte + shot of espresso).

English pub with great cozy atmosphere. I'm still not quite sure about the food, but the atmosphere wins me over everytime. Got to love carpeted restaurants.

This cafe has been in the square since 1983. Delicious pastries, coffee, etc. I love how you can hear the porcelain clattering throughout the cafe.

My absolute favorite low key Irish pub to grab a drink and a quick bite to eat. Often, the Old Town Folk School students from next door come in and do impromptu performances.
