Tradesman Coffee Shop and Lounge

The operation here is focused more on fast service and less on made-to-order. All the sandwiches have already been made and they're sitting in a window. I would've loved an egg and cheese on their pretzel bun, but that's not an option. When you order they'll warm it up for you.
My sandwich was flavorful. It was also half-heated with cold spots.
The pastries in appearance are enticing and they half way deliver on taste.
For two sandwiches, a pastry, a coffee, and hot tea it was $40 + tip.
It's fast and it's convenient, but I value attention to food, fair prices, and a calmer and more relaxed atmosphere. It wasn't my scene, but it might be yours 🤷

La Sierra

La Sierra is one of those 'hole in the wall' joints you keep hearing about. It had been on my list of places to visit and after yesterday, I can't believe I didn't go sooner.
First thing- wasn't impressed with the tacos. I got the shrimp. They're really tiny and they weren't marinated. They lacked a lot of flavor, but I'm willing to go back and try again with something else.
The absolute show stopper is their Mexican street corn; every bite was bliss. They slather on mayo and then cover it in really salty Mexican cheese and spices. It's BIG and it's incredible.
We also ordered a bean and cheese pupusa. It was a little crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Very good.
Their horchata tasted like Christmas and wasn't overwhelmingly sweet.
We ended the night with flan. It wasn't smooth in texture like one might hope, but still very good.
I think best of all is how sweet the lady was running the counter. She was steady taking orders and then going back to help prep the food, all while having such a wonderful attitude.
Don't wait to visit here. Make it your next grab and go, or dine in at their little counter.
