Coffee Corner

$

A state-of-the-art Italian coffee machine and fresh grounds are used to prepare Italian-style espresso, macchiato, Americano, latte, and cappuccino. Iced coffees and coffee milkshakes are refreshing on hot days in the city, and European pastries and croissants make a perfect late-afternoon pick-me-up. Don’t miss the tompouces, thick pastry cream sandwiched between two flaky layers. Quiche and sandwiches provide more substance. The signature T-rex stacks turkey, cheese, boiled egg, lettuce, and tomato on your choice of bread.

Northsea Restaurant

$$

Locals love this clean, efficient, friendly place—the husband is German, his wife is from Ghana, and together, the couple has created a solid restaurant serving both Continental and Ghanaian dishes. Choose from assorted seafood dishes, including simple preparations such as fried red snapper in spicy tomato sauce or more elaborate concoctions like grouper gratin. Chicken with jollof rice is oh-so-Ghanaian. If you're feeling far from home and hankering for pizza or steak and fries, they have those, too.
