Like a sleepy woodland cottage, Hobbit Cafe is nestled among the branchs of a huge oak tree. Wooden furnishings and earth tones warm the modest interior, where maps of Middle Earth and 'Lord of the Rings' artwork enliven the walls. The low ceiling, candles and small dining rooms give this cozy cafe a true Hobbit feel.

It might not look like much from the outside, but Shandy's Cafe is a little jewel on the inside--a small, bright place with about a dozen or so tables.
