Dough

Bakeries keep the neighborhood fed. Dough fits neatly into that tradition, offering a casual spot where counter service meets table seating. Solo diners stop by for dessert just as often as groups do, and the setup allows for either a quick bite or a longer sit-down. The menu leans toward sweets, but the flexibility makes it easy to linger or grab something to go.
