Food Scene
Oliver's Deli is a neighborhood gem and has been owned by the same family for 35 years. Their lemon blueberry bread and pumpkin chocolate chip bread are delicious, and they can make waffles of the same flavors! They are open early at 6 am M-F and 8 am on Saturdays, so you can get a loaded breakfast burrito nice and early! The owner is a dear friend of mine.

Amazing sundaes. Reminds me of Voodoo Donuts but on an ice cream cone. Crazy ingredients like Andes Mints or Trix layered on the outside of the ice cream. Super delicious - we've liked everything we've tried here.
