Biking out to St. Johns on a very clear, very cold morning, we chose en route to take a warm-up break at Diprima Dolci, an Italian bakery/dinner spot not listed on some coffee shop lists, but which we like it a lot. Though it does not have multiple seating options, its hominess comes from the ethnic flavor (and treats), which are quite stimulating.  Adding to the positive atmosphere is knowing the owner invested in N. PDX when it was chancy. (The backyard patio in good weather is an added treat.)    http://www.diprimadolci.com/
