Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
The Old Fire Station is a bustling spot that's clearly doing something right. You can't swing a cat without hitting a happy diner enjoying the three cheese on sourdough toast or the sausage baps fresh from the bakery. Maxine P was all about that scrumptious toast and even noted the pay-by-phone parking behind. But don’t let the busy lunchtime vibes distract you: Leslie Coelho raves about the coffee, and Maria Elvira Paarmann is swooning over the crispy pastries like they’re a long-lost love.
The atmosphere is dog-friendly and the staff are so friendly, they make you wonder if they’ve been spiking the coffee with kindness. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the craziness in the open kitchen, which Natalie Corner found both charming and aromatic. Just be aware they’re closed on Sundays, which is a bit of a letdown for that weekend brunch vibe, but hey, you can't have it all. Overall, it’s a solid option that's worth your lunchtime hustle.
