The Hilltop Park Alehouse is right down the block and a great place to grab a burger, a beer and a delicious desert - and most of all they are open really late.

Estrellas is a great bakery in the neighborhood. They are known for their delicious cakes, pastries, fresh bread made daily and also have a ton of sandwiches and snacks to choose from. I picked up some croissants, (the biggest I have ever seen), which were light and flakey and perfect with strawberry jelly. Also worth trying is their carrot cake and pumpkin cake. While most of the staff only speak Spanish, they were wonderful and patient in trying to answer questions in English from customers.
