If I owned a restaurant, I'd want it to be just like The Watering Can Cafe. This place is just soooo cozy!!! Shelly has this place decked out like the inside of a decorating magazine.... it's just so darn adorable!! She's got an eye for taking vintage items and making them look like new decor. I could literally sit there for hours and just take it all in! I haven't even mentioned the food yet- lol! Shelly comes up with the most delicious dishes and great side salads, too! Everything is homemade and just such good comfort food. I recently enjoyed her grilled chicken salad with fruit and poppyseed dressing. It was amazing! However, my favorite part is picking out one of her scrumptious bars! She must have at least 10 options.... it's hard to choose! I can't say enough about this place... you just gotta check it out!
