As a low-carb consumer, I love that this place offers a rice/bean alternative base to the yummy breads on which they build their incredible sandwiches. Salads available too. Within walking distance, but you'll have a steep hill to climb coming back to my space again. Closed on Sundays.

I rarely drink alcohol. My lack of interest in Headframe Spirits won't keep me from recommending that you visit Butte's distillery, if that's your "cup of tea." It's in walking distance, BTW. :-)
