Fido
The old dogs whose favorite trick was to fetch coffee and a muffin at the Hillsboro Village coffee shop have dug up a pleasant surprise: Suddenly the muffins at Fido are great! And breakfast is just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks to chef John Stephenson's focus on seasonal and local cuisine and pastry chef Lisa Bachman's clever creations, the 13-year-old Fido has emerged as a favorite all-day pet among serious foodies. Start with a muffin, then work up to flank steak, fish tacos and pan-seared shrimp on mashed white beans. Next thing you know, you won't be calling Fido a coffeehouse anymore—except, of course, when you're stocking up on Bongo Java Roasting Company's "Yes We Can" custom-label beans. Carrington Fox
