Literally nothing was undeserving of praise. Homemade black bean soup was simple and satisfying. The salads were many mouthfuls. It's homemade white bread, light but chewy, served toasted and buttered. You could live on it alone, or at least die happy.
Sandwiches come with chips or cole slaw or homemade unskinned potato salad.
Sufficient Grounds affects an avant garde air, but without condescension. The 1950s furniture will amuse younger folks and set older ones to reminiscing. The walls showcase a range of local art talent, from mild to wild, in gallery-quality displays. Folks do smoke, but only upstairs, in a loft with the added comfort of overstuffed chairs and sofas, and an assortment of board games. You'll have to snare a spot on Kavanaugh or elsewhere at busy times.
