(More) This cafe serves the best coffee in Hanford, and the folks who work there are friendly and intelligent. AND THERE IS FREE WIFI! The owner, Steve, is an artist, and he decks his cafe (both indoors and out) with eclectic artwork. Outside, there is a mannequin, and once, a local cop thought that the mannequin was attempting to break into the cafe; the officer drew his weapon and called for back up! There is a gift shop attached to the cafe. The Art Works also has photos and relics from historic Hanford at the turn of the century when many Chinese immigrants lived in Hanford to work on the railroad. On Saturday nights, quality musicians (jazz, folk) play on the small stage. The owner has a cute little black pug named Fig running around in the store. Fig is adorable and friendly. The cafe serves lunches and also Superior Dairy icecream. I love this place--I even wrote my thesis there! This is the coolest cafe and it reminds me of my favorite cafes in walking cities like Sac and SF.  (Hide)
