Chef-owner Rayn Gonzalez and his partner Matt Keller at Café Laurent draw a breakfast-lunch crowd to their tiny French café with a pleasant outdoor dining space. In business for over a decade, the eatery serves croque monsieurs, crepes, quiches and big-enough-to-share omelets all day. Lunch from 11:30 am features daily specials like couscous royale on Tuesdays in addition to mains, salads and sandwiches. Bring your own champagne if you want mimosas at weekend brunches.
