Zoey's Cafe is full of little surprises. Its sherbet-green walls and storefront windows scream ice cream parlor, but although you can get a cone, it's a minor part of the menu. The place is nicely decked out, from those pretty pastel walls to interesting, industrial-look metal tables whose matching chairs have surprisingly comfortable seats of woven steel. There's a big potted palm inside, and a brick courtyard out back with picnic tables under the trees. I wasn't tempted, but I did find myself eyeing the homemade Rice Krispie treats.
Old habits die hard.
