White Dog Cafe is fabulous for a delicious breakfast/lunch meet up with friends. We have been here several times and this was the best so far. Our waiter was extremely helpful and courteous to our friend who is somewhat handicapped. The mushroom soup is absolutely delicious. They did not rush us even though it got very crowded as the afternoon wore on. I love the ambiance here, too. Very comfortable seating.
