Sorry, no children. If you like sociability, this is the place. Owner Sheila Rubinson welcomes guests as part of the family. She likes to chat over coffee, offers discounts from 24th street merchants, and on occasion, even serves as an unofficial tour guide. The main floor is decorated with a mix of Aboriginal masks, Japanese furniture, antiques, and family photos.
