Thank heavens for Lovejoy Bakers. It's my go to spot for homework, work breaks, and lunch with a girlfriend. Their russian tea cookies make me weak in the knees, and I'm one picky girl about my cookies. Their outdoor seating is perfect for this summer, and I never have to wait long for my food. Their atmosphere is not super warm, it's clean, open, with wood and tall stools. There are times I have wished they had more than just that one corner of comfy bench seating. Sometimes seating inside can be a little limited, especially if you need a plug for your computer, but overall, Lovejoy Bakers has won my heart.

I've been a regular at Seres for about 3 years now and I consistently see the same staff. It's one of the few restaurants I go where they know me by name and offer good, personal service. I love their mongolian beef, hot and sour soup, and buddha's delight (for days when I want something light and fresh). 2 thumbs up for Seres Restaurant and their friendly staff.
