Top 3 Restaurants: Windsor Terrace Edition

Terrace Bagels

With everything you could want in a Bagel Shop, Terrace Bagels has dozens of varieties of bagels, the world’s best egg-everything, and racks of coffee dispensers lining the wall. After ordering at the front, you move along the short, alcove-like hallway and wait by the coffee for the number on your receipt to be called in a quick manner. It comes in a nondescript brown paper bag, but is certainly memorable by the smell that wafts up as bagels are piled on top of the bags that held them as a makeshift plate. It truly does not make a difference if it’s toasted or not: the outside is always perfectly crunchy and the inside is preserved in fluffy bliss.

Daytime Cafe

I have a tradition of grabbing a Vanilla Maple Iced Latte from Daytime before every Bio exam for good luck, and while that custom doesn't always work, the coffee is too good to hold a grudge. If coffee isn't your thing, their everything seasoned croissant, tahini chocolate chip cookie, lavender lemon cake, or peanut butter chunk brownie are certain to catch your eye. All of the aforementioned are delicious, especially the seasoned croissant, which is buttery and warm but savory and salty. The sandwiches are excellent, especially the vegetarian ones, such as their gruyere and mushroom press.

The Lonesome Club

Serving elevated classics, The Lonesome Club is the kind of place you bring your family friends, grandparents, or just someone you want to impress without killing your wallet. With mind blowing $20 entrees such as toasted mushroom risotto with crispy sage or the less extravagant but no less lucious bangers and mash, the price is worth every bite. The burgers are meh, but when dining at The Lonesome Club, it’s the right time to be adventurous and try their buttered scallops or oysters. When looking at the menu, keep in mind that the thing that they do best is taking comfort ingredients, such as potatoes, butter, rice, and other carbs and transforming them into an experience of flavor.
