    Its nice to see my part of the city getting some recognition! The Caz Coffee Cafe really is a great addition to the community with really good food. I suggest anyone reading this to check it out!

    I cant get enough of these paninis. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I got a chance to meet Debbie and she is a doll with a heart of gold. I wish her the best in her recovery. Please take the time to visit this great local shop.

    I remember Allen Street back in the early 90s when a cafe opened (does anyone remember the name of that place? It was SUPER popular because it was the only one...) If Caz Coffee Cafe has that kind of vibe, I'm sure it's worth visiting. Great for when you're taking those out-of-town guests to the Basilica and Botanical Gardens, too!

    Christa- exactly- I remember having an intense conversation about bodhisattvas at The Topic one fine spring night in 1991 or so! Thanks for reminding me.

    That was The Topic, rdominguez. It was in two locations, the first was on Allen to the West of Elmwood, the second on the east side of the strip in the space last occupied by Drool, which is currently being renovated and turned into a creperie more formal that its counterpart, the Steel Crazy Cafe.

    Funnily enough, the Steel Crazy Cafe is in the spot that was owned by the first incarnation of Cybele's, another cafe that helped change that neighborhood. When The Topic and Cybele's owned those spaces, that back patio was a fantastic place to have dinner, drink coffee and talk about lofty things with people you'd never met before.
