Review: The food at Engine Shed is a wonderfully healthy, refreshing delight. I found the opening times a bit deceiving, though. They are open 10:30 - 3:30, but only serve hot foods after noon. I was able to get a plate of tofu salad and fruit salad, and it filled me up until dinner time. Since I was there early, I may not have had the usual experience, but you order cafe-style up front, then bring the food back to your table.

You can buy their homemade tofu and bread to take away with you.

 
Pros: good prices * healthy food * great open lighting
Cons: not open much of the day * *
