Reframe - the coffee

 

Same high quality as the food. A person could set up on this peaceful, garden-like patio and slowly sip their coffee while reading a book or completing a sudoku.

Reframe - the food

A big bellissimo to the food here, all tasty and carefully crafted with local ingredients. I wrongly thought the Caprese was a salad rather than a sando, so my only problem was that - combined with the delicious grilled cheese - it was too much bread.

Reframe - the drinks

In this case a shrub, picturesque and refreshing.

Reframe Bistro

We finally made it to this overlooked gem in Meiners Oaks. It's a beautiful space - indoors and out - and since for the longest time no one was on the premises to greet us, we had plenty of time to appreciate it.

small Nut Pods

The selection of small, unrefrigerated Nut Pods cartons as seen at Sprouts. The one out of stock is sweet creme almond coconut. The small cartons are said to be "shelf-stable" due to deep heat sterilization whereas the large cartons forego that process
