Customers can enjoy some of their great food selections while listening to great music. Their variety of rock ranges from “Come Together” by The Beatles to “Crosstown Traffic” by Jimi Hendrix.

When you walk in, it is filled with different stage lights that flow with the music that is playing. Drum decor and guitar displays fill the inside to help give the rock-n-roll vibe. The smell of coffee fills the air and the delicious pastries are on display.

“This whole experience has been so much fun. I’ve been doing this since the sixties and I don’t plan to stop,” said Goorabian. “I love this place. It’s very local. So close, that I actually live down the street which makes it even better.”

Performing here often, he mentions that one of his guilty pleasures is the “Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake.”
