Diesel Cafe

Unlike the designer label that shares its name, Diesel is welcoming to all. This java joint fuels students and locals with coffee ($1-3.50) and specialty drinks like raspberry lime rickeys ($2.50) and the Rusty Slide (chai blended with ice and vanilla ice cream; $4.75). The cool staff prepares awesome pizza bagels ($3.75), and many of the assorted sandwiches ($5-6), soups, and pastries ($2) are vegan-friendly. For a true caffeine fix, fill 'er up with the Solid Six ($4), 6 shots of espresso, at the unfinished bar or one of the red leather booths adorned with license plates. Diesel also entertains the leisurely with pool tables ($5 to play before 7pm, $8 after), board games, and even a magnetic poetry board.
