Never mind the lack of menus (there's only one hanging on the wall to refer to) and the unassuming storefront, Ronin is still the go-to cafe for many simply because the food is good and the coffee is consistent. Opened by the folks behind The Plain and PUNCH, this moody, industrial chic cafe is perfect for brunch with a small group of friends. Like the regulars here, go for the outrageously good Scrambled Eggs on Toast ($9) — creamy, velvety folds of egg with a dash of coarse sea salt flakes, served on two types of toast. Choose to add portobello mushroom ($3.50) and avocado ($3) for a heartier meal. The French Toast ($15) with braised apples, crispy bacon and hazelnut butter (so darn good) is by far one of the best in town. Don't leave without a cup of Wicked Mocha ($5.50/$7.50 for iced) — coffee with a heap of chocolate and a minty finish.

Avg Price: $20 per person
