The Brunson Cafe is truly unique for its ambience. This little eatery is located in an old clock tower crafted in an 1877 gothic revival style. The building is most famous for being a chemistry den during the 19th-century, where skills in science and math were mastered. History truly lines the walls of this cafe, displays of antique medical equipment are featured throughout the restaurant. The menu is also chemistry themed.
