It is very hard to find a place to eat, where placing an order takes more then 29 minutes. If you are looking for a place like that - it is Writters Block. Can't comment on the food. Couldn't order any.

A cozy little community location with a wide range of things to do, eat, see and hear. Wish there were more study places like this, look forward to more live events!
