Rise Above Bakehouse
1207 Charlotte HwyWonderful breakfast baked goods.
Cool little brewery to hang out at. There is some covered seating between the caboose and car (and inside the car as well). Good beers, and they have a few good wines for those non-beer drinkers. Take a lunch from Smokey Pig BBQ, or visit the food truck that is usually there.

This place looks like it used to be a diner. But, it's amazing, authentic Mexican cuisine. Casual, and inexpensive. Very good.
Don't let the name throw you....
