This cafe may transform into a club at night, but in the morning proves to be a very peachy and soothing place to recharge. The interior brims with vintage furniture patched together without rhyme or reason, lending the cafe an “anything goes” attitude—save for its breakfasts. To the contrary: With a long list of organic cheeses, spicy sandwiches and various cereals, Wendel’s carefully considered menu is aimed at pleasing palates, and rounded out with rustic, delectable pastas served at lunch at fair prices.

In its later hours, the bar becomes a stylized and focused venue for various musicians who play improvised music, jazz-punk or blues-rock, making Wendel into a spot for people interested in new and serious music.
