Mars Hill Cafe

[CLOSED] Sufjan Stevens wafting from the speakers is your first clue. That big bookshelf offering F Scott Fitzgerald and Cervantes is another... Mars Hill Café is alternative with a capital A. Here, baristas take pride in their coffee-making using the house blend of organic Latin American beans called ‘Jumping Llama’. Order a breakfast burrito and an iced coffee with chocolate and strawberry stripes that goes by the name of ‘Embarrassed Zebra’. Mars Hill is a place where bands launch their CDs, local artists get their first break, and where a hearty lunch (lamb shanks or a schnitty) costs downward of $12.
