Unassuming little grill in the flight ops building. They close for a half hour between 1030 and 1100. Be mindful. I had the best egg, cheese, and turkey on brioche. One of the finest breakfast sandwiches I've eaten.

A tiny café in the lobby of a non-descript business building that serves the best food at value prices of any to-go café (and many restaurants). Owned by a husband and wife, the food is consistently of high quality, is served quickly and the cooked items are piping hot. They serve equally great breakfast items. The bonus is they are friendly, remember repeat customers name’s and serve the food with a warm smile.
