Kiosk 250 — Restaurant in Westwood

My mom has been in the hospital 15 times since January. I usually get here late afternoon after work and usually have coffee with me. However, my sister, Bridget comes on the weekends and always stops to talk with Sam and get coffee and a bagel or pastry. She tells me how very nice he is. He is her "coffee friend". Today my mom asked for a coffee, so I stopped to talk to Sam. Besides him being extremely friendly and personable (we could've talked about food and Italian cooking for hours), the coffee was delicious, plus after talking he mentioned some of the dishes he makes for lunch.

Stopped in this morning for an ultrasound. Had to fast overnight, was hungry leaving the hospital. Kiosk owner is charmingly proud of his offerings and his wife's baking prowess.
