Lynny’s

Lynny’s feels like the kind of place a date can relax before the night even begins. The space has an inviting rhythm, with music that creates a steady backdrop and a menu that leans fun instead of fussy. Biscuit lovers tend to fall hard here. Drinks like the rose oat milk latte keep things playful without going overly sweet. The staff keeps the energy kind, which makes the whole visit feel easy. A bookstore sits next door, adding a built-in second stop if the date is going well.

Soha often appeals to couples who want something different from the usual tacos or burgers while keeping the bill within reach.

They even host live music on weekends.
