The food is something of an afterthought, but it's a reasonably well executed afterthought. Xando isn't a bad place, but perhaps they're trying to do too many things at once - is it a coffee shop, a bar, or a cafe? Well, it's all three. During the warmer months, you can sit outside on the sidewalk, and it's a nice place to have a couple of drinks and read, chat with friends, or take advantage of their free wi-fi. I particularly like their coffee drinks spiked with booze. The food is typical coffee-shop fare - wraps, quesadillas, breakfast sandwiches in the morning, and an expensive but tasty fruit and brie platter. Most of it is fairly good - the salads in particular - but some of the portions could be larger. On the whole, the main attraction is the beverages; the food is just nice to have available if you want something to munch on while you're there.
