Pita Palace

The daily preparation here shows in the colorful display-case vegetables and house-made hummus. Sandwiches can be ordered in soft whole wheat pita, wrapped with generous tahini and garlic sauce. Beyond the savory menu, they bake a surprisingly popular house-made carrot cake. The shop is compact, holding just three or four tables for dining in. Service is quick, overseen by a warm owner known for remembering past orders and occasionally adding an extra pickle on the house.
