La Bodega by Curate

Locals’ pick

Cúrate's more relaxed sibling — Spanish tapas and bistro vibes in an upscale cafe setting, with a market counter up front. It's our second call downtown after Ukiah, and unlike its sibling you can usually get a table without planning your week around it. Good for a long lunch or a lighter dinner with a glass of something Spanish.

Daymoon Coffeebar Locals’ pick

The closest good coffee to home, and it happens to have a drive-thru. On a slow morning that combination is hard to beat. Pull up, grab your cortado, keep moving.

Neng Jr.'s Locals’ pick

This is the hardest reservation in town right now, and it earns it. The Filipino menu is bold and personal, nothing watered down for a wider crowd. Book early or plan on missing it.

Hole Doughnuts

They fry the doughnuts to order, so you're eating them warm and a little crackly at the edges. It's a small menu done exactly right. Get there before the line does.
