Spoke & Bird

The Prairie District gathering place is partly a coffee shop, with Counter Culture beans and people pounding away on laptops and partly a restaurant, with a menu of sandwiches, burgers and salads. Ingredients are drawn from around the region, like 1871 Dairy and Moody Tongue Brewing Company, and the big windows, plants and light woods make it a comfortable spot for settling in over a sandwich, like honey and tea chicken with pickled cauliflowers, and dessert, including a brownie that comes elaborately plate with whipped cream and lemon zest.
