When its cold out this place is calling my name. It feels like a beatnik bar. The owner has traveled the world over, researching the best coffee and teas you could ever have. Great breakfast wraps and enormous sandwiches. Quaint Clarence Center is like going back 50 years in time. It has that old world charm, that envelops you. Rating 7/10.

Rock Bottom Eatery

This is great family restaurant with a hoppin' bar! My little guy loves the golf game. Friday night fish fry is a super value and delectable. Well drinks are first-rate and the ambiance is truly inviting. If possible sit by front of building with lots of light by large windows, or by fireplace. Great salads accompany the meal. Friendly staff is spot on. Rating 8/10

The atmosphere here is inviting. First rate quality spinach salad as well as a great selection of teas and coffee. They have an enormous selection of desserts and quality is A1. Attentive staff. Quiet and classy interior. Good size portions, average value. If possible sit by the large picture windows and fireplace. Rating 9/10.

Zebb's Deluxe Grill & Bar

If you find yourself driving down the boulevard and are tired of all the same places around the mall, drive north a few miles and check out Zebb's Grill & Bar. This place has so many positives if you haven't been here, you need to go soon. Whether it's the juicy burgers or the condiment bar (featuring lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, relish, salsa, etc.) or the freshly cut fries with the skins. On every table you'll find an exotic hot sauce for your enjoyment, beware some are tongue numbing.

The interior has a neo-diner ambiance including the neon lights and old black and white pics of movie stars of yesteryear. On the wall is an autographed Pat LaFontaine Sabres jersey. Zebb's feature 1/2 price appetizers in the evenings after 9 as well as an assortment of draft beers. Enjoy sports events in the lounge with 4 suspended TV's. If you have hungry little rugrats I recommend going on Sundays where kids eat free. Not only do they eat free, but Zebb's is kid friendly with crayons and activity place mats which helps keep toddlers occupied (for a little while anyway). Your children will love the old-fashioned homemade milkshakes, but only if they finish their dinner. They even bake fresh cookies which are out of this world!

The service is friendly and fast. The portions are huge so plan to take some food home. All in all Zebb's is a fun place to go, check out the humorous, yet true list of laws here.

Panera Bread

Since we all don't live in or near an art district in a big city, Panera sort of gives us a similar feeling of some of the avant-garde, modern cafes. With free wi-fi you never want to leave.

Sure it's a chain but I can't find anything not to love. Their service is friendly, the sandwiches, soups, salads and of course bread is exceptional. I chose the "You Pick Two" which gives you a choice of a 1/2 sandwich, bowl of soup or salad. I ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich w/bacon and the new chicken tortilla soup. I loved the sandwich and felt the soup was so so. My favorite soup by far is the broccoli cheddar, it of course is the least healthy of the choices which isn't a coincidence.

They have a choice of 5 different brews of coffee including the house, decaf, dark roast, hazelnut and stronger Colombian. They have a unique process when roasting the coffee beans. Panera roasts them in smaller batches so they can closely monitor the process and make adjustments where necessary. The coffee is refillable so you can get jacked up on caffeine to take on the rest of the day's rat race. I will say the only negative is the prices. My order came to 9.41 and all I ordered was 1/2 a sandwich, a bowl of soup and a coffee. It would be more reasonable to be around 7.00 than over 9.00. I recommend Panera and go whenever I can.

In the heart of picturesque Lewiston lies a local favorite with a warm and inviting atmosphere coupled with friendly servers and amazing food. You're not a customer here, you're part of the family. Granny's feature daily specials as well as a fairly diverse assortment of choices. Not sure what you're in the mood for, go to AG's. I highly recommend the reuben and french onion soup! I haven't tasted their equal, and it hasn't been for lack of trying. More details here
