If you’re seeking a relaxing neighborhood environment that’s not only chic but also features a South American flair, Bomberos Café and Wine Bar should be on the top of your list.
This café in the heart of Sunnyslope is distinctive. You won’t find traditional heavy entreés and a large assortment of menu choices, but what you will find is a nice selection of finger foods like bruschetta, olives, five paninis including a vegetarian, several salads, artisan cheese and meat platters. Future plans call for the addition of breakfast paninis. There also are specialty desserts of the day made fresh at local bakeries to tempt you.
