My new favorite place in downtown Bryan is The Village Cafe, which I tried last weekend for the first time. This little eatery emphasizes everything local – local ingredients from local farmers, local art, and local music. They share their space with the Art 979 Gallery, and the beautiful, vibrant works can be admired throughout the restaurant. Live music can be enjoyed on weekend evenings, and they even have Salsa Night on Wednesdays! (On my to-do list!) As for food, The Village serves breakfast, sandwiches, soups, and salads. Everything is fresh and organic, and the coffee is glorious (from what I hear). I ordered the 100th Monkey Sandwich and Tomato Soup, and they did not disappoint!

{100th Monkey: Turkey and roast beef with raspberry chipotle mayo, avocado, tomato, lettuce, roasted red onion, and goat cheese on whole wheat bread}
{Sandwich + Chunky tomato soup}
{Outdoor seating…always a plus}
I also discovered that they have great fresh-squeezed mimosas, as I went there again on Sunday with my friend Thomas!

Will be going back soon!
