Blue Rock Shoot

The Blue Rock is actually a big house on a hillside with several levels and rooms. The interior is all arts-and-crafts furnishings and ceramic figurines. At street level, the cafe serves wine, beer, bagels, salads, sorbets, sandwiches and pizza as well as coffee. Downstairs, there's a small bookstore with an emphasis on quality literature. The Book Market is the site of poetry readings on Sundays, lectures midweek, live music on Fridays and even a cigar club, 'Friends of the Leaf,' on Thursday nights. Out back, four levels of patios overlook Wildwood Park. The lower levels feature a Japanese-style rock garden and a cascading waterfall that burbles softly to the diners.
