Pump House Station Urban Eatery

Call it urban retro or industrial chic, the place just feels like home, so authentic , casual and easy. For two-plus years, owner Belynda Greene, who has a knack for finding really cool old stuff, got busy and started collecting. Her found treasures are creatively positioned throughout the light-filled space. The charming antique light fixtures are from the old library in Jerome, Arizona, an historic copper mining town.
The interior river rock wall fireplace anchors the vibe. Attune to the space you will find yourself smiling and reminiscing. You order from the counter and find your seat or do a grab and go. Seating is inside or out, by the fireplace or a communal table.
