Tiny Boxwood's

About half a mile from our apartment sits a lush, exquisite, and slightly hidden nursery.  Most have never noticed it, and some have no idea what is behind the sign with the quirky phrases.

It is to die for.

Thompson & Hanson built the nursery / landscaping business with a little shop at the front filled with home decor and unique pieces, but the secret weapon lies on the other side.  A quaint cafe was added to the back of their space, and there Tiny Boxwood's sits.  

It is at the top of the top of my favorites list, so naturally I treated myself to a bite there on my birthday.










The elegant shabby-chic design gives me the undeniable itch to rummage through a Pottery Barn catalog.

Grab a recycled wine bottle of water from the fridge at the front, and pick a spot if you can find one.  This was the only time I've been to TB when there was not a line snaking out the door.  But, if you do catch a line, a complimentary glass of lemonade will be waiting for you.

Mosey in on a lazy Sunday for brunch and have a rich cup of self-serve coffee accompanied by a delicious quiche or breakfast pizza, or grab an iced tea and stroll through the nursery itself.  I dare you not to take home a pepper plant.

And if you're stopping in during their wine and cheese hours (3:30-5), might I recommend the Terra Rosa Malbec and the French Picnic with a side of Real Simple Magazine.


Delightful.
