Darwin Cafe Restaurant Review:


Darwin's signature dish is its ever-changing bowl of cottage cheese. It comes topped with seasonal fruit or nuts and a flavoring, typically honey, but occasionally balsamic vinegar or other surprises. The healthy, hearty dish makes a nice late breakfast or casual lunch, and is well complemented by the quality coffee and espresso drinks most folks initially wander in for. The Turkish Breakfast comprises black figs, heirloom tomatoes, Cabot cheddar, hard-boiled egg, olives, honey, grilled sourdough and house-made seasonal jam. Wood-slab tables, indoor and outdoor porch seating and a walk-up order bar give this spot a classic California coffee shop vibe with locavore accents.
