Cafe Flore

Long a prime people-watching spot, this fantastic cafe also excels as a casual hangout, gathering place and individual retreat. A lovely outdoor patio gets lots of business, and greenhouse-like glass walls provide shelter without seeming claustrophobic. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, and an espresso bar vends pastries and caffeine galore. In addition, a full liquor bar delivers appealing, better-than-average offerings, rounding out the practiced criteria of one of Market Street's more enticing destinations. (NB The alcohol bar is cash-only.)
