When I met my friend, Liz Williams of the Les Dames d’Escoffier Collection at the SoFAB Research Center at Nunez Community College, who came to town from New Orleans to see her grandson and, of course, his parents!  I always try to find a new spot for us to meet.

Little did I think it would be a block away. A new building had sprouted on the SW corner of 14th and 6th, with a new wellness restaurant called Oasis Cafe. We’re glad to get it in the hood, as The Well, a wellness cafe on 15th Street, had recently closed.

There’s coffee and pastries, along with meal options, including vegan and vegetarian options. We sampled the very moist—unlike the dry ones sold at Union Square market—blueberry scone ($5.75) and an almond croissant ($6.25).

I recommend a visit!
