Takeout available from 6-11:30 a.m. Tuesday-Sunday. Order online by noon a day ahead (no same day orders).
The “cranky" in Cranky Al’s doesn’t refer to the customers that find the place closed during normal business hours—not only is Al shut down on Monday; it’s closed from noon-4 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday—but to the “hand-cranked" donuts that are the coffeehouse’s signature. The donuts have a deliciously lighter texture than the factory-produced competition, and they aren’t the only good thing on the menu of bakery, sandwiches and salads. Wednesday-Saturday from 4-8 p.m., Al cranks out homemade pizza with an array of toppings—everything from pineapple to anchovies.
