Iris Bookcafe

Detail: A combination art gallery, bookshop, coffee shop and wireless café, Iris BookCafe is a locavore’s dream. The sandwich bread is from Shadeau Bakery, which is almost directly across the street. Meats are from Avril’s on Court Street, and the ice cream is from Aglamesis. The soups are from Myra’s Dionysus on Calhoun Street in Clifton.There are meat and veggie options on the sandwich menu. Eating at Iris BookCafe is like spending an evening at a friend’s house. It’s so low-key. Iris doesn’t fill the void left by Kaldi’s, because the menu is smaller and there’s no alcohol service, but there are a lot of similarities (AM 3-18-09). Entrees: $4.95-$8.95.
