Bourgeois Pig Cafe

This is a small old fashion cafe that offers delicious coffees and great food. As a vegetarian, there are many options avaliable. The sandwiches are made with the freshest vegetables, my only concern is the price. The prices continue to go up and now its like 8 or 9 dollars for a sandwich. The food is good but overpriced, that is why I chose Satisfactory. If you are looking to go to a nice lunch and spend the money, then this is the place. If you are looking for a reasonable cafe meal, this is not the right place to go.

I've never dined "in" here, but the other night I was craving breakfast food at 9PM. After a little online searching, I happened upon the Pig -- which serves breakfast all day, every day. I ordered the breakfast burrito and a side of fruit, and they both were to die for. You can tell they make everything fresh, daily. The best part about it was they delivered my late night breakfast meal by bicycle. How quaint! I'll definitely order from them again, and when the weather is nicer, I'll stroll over there to check out their old victorian decor.

This cafe used to be a hangout for socialists and leftist thinkers apparently. Now it's a cozy cafe for college students and the bohemian set who want to lounge in plush sofas, sipping home-brewed coffee and perusing the many leftist tomes on the wood-paneled shelves.

The first floor looks like your typical mom-and-pop coffeehouse - a bit cramped, long lines waiting for coffe or for some of the hefty portions of mouthwatering hot sandwiches and cakes. Up the narrow staircase you'll find what looks like a dark library with long dark tables and couches. You can place your food order downstairs and someone will bring up your food to the library.

There seems to be a large variety of items on the chalkboard menu, which can get a bit cluttered and hard to read. Otherwise, this cafe is a refreshing revisit to the salon type of teatime discussion of the events of the day.
