Willa's is a neighborhood restaurant serving lunch and dinner daily and brunch on the weekends. We are a restaurant built by people with a focus on simply prepared classic dishes rooted in American and French traditions.

Willa's Provisions is an all-day corner cafe, open early and late serving strong coffee, fresh pastries and breakfast tacos, rolling into an aperitivo bar with light bites as the day goes by.

Communities are essential to our success. We welcome an endless variety of people through our doors every day. Whether they are purveyors, staff, guests or a new neighbor, we depend on them. In order to continue growing, we actively seek ways to engage and embrace our entire community.
