"What I have loved is that we have so many regular customers, weekly and daily, and regular weekenders. There's a variety of people who come in and set up shop to work, hold meetings or do homework," Fester said. "I love that people see us that way — a comfortable place to get good fresh food, made from scratch in house, and they can hang out. There's no urgency, they feel at ease, feel at home and comfortable."
