🥐 fresh pastries 10 mentions

“The pastries were good, but they weren’t great, and they were pretty expensive for a semi warm cracker sized pandebono.”

🛋️ cozy atmosphere 3 mentions

“The food and the coffee are perfection, the service is fabulous, and the atmosphere is cozy with Columbian music playing in the background.”

What customers say

I think this might have been the best Cappuccino I have ever had. My top priority is always how the coffee is and there are so many other fantastic aspects of this cafe. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. The employees are incredibly kind and quick. I sat at the back patio overlooking a small river.

First time & can’t wait to come back!! This was an experience. The gentleman was so friendly, gave the story of the beans, etc., which was very informative. Our drinks were perfect & the food was impeccable. As you can see, our churro waffles look like a pic from Bon Appetite magazine!!

💎 What a Gem 💎 Excellent atmosphere with friendly service. They really nailed the upscale feel but home kitchen vibe!! Coffee from Columbia, roasted in CT! What really made my day, is a GF option for pastry called, pandebono. Made with cassava flour, it is naturally GF.

This cafe is lovely! I've been three times while in town. I'd recommend a cup of coffee via V-60 and having it black. The beans and brew are delicious just as they are. As far as food goes, I've had the BEC and the Nutella waffle. The BEC was okay, nothing special. The Nutella waffle, on the other hand, was fantastic.
