Pioneer Square

Café Paloma offers lunches and light dinners with a Mediterranean authenticity. Meet a friend for Turkish coffee. Linger over a glass of fine wine. Survey the current exhibition of fine art photography. Order a latté and a prosciuto sandwich to go. Or, change your mind and enjoy the meze plate of humus, baba ghanouj, shepherd salad and pita bread. Discuss last night's concert with your inamorata as you sample the baklava. Everything seems possible in this haven from the ordinary as you begin a conversation with a total stranger.
