What customers say

Friendly and knowledgeable employees and management. Well decorated restaurant, extensive menu. Incredible pistachio macarons. Cheesesteak was ok, not perfect but good. All coffee options are excellent. The bar is also fully stocked: espresso martinis, spicy margaritas, cosmo, etc.

This cozy cafe has become a regular spot for us. Their coffee is fantastic, especially lattes, which somehow taste even better in their to-go cups! My daughter raves about their fluffy blueberry pancakes, and the avocado toast is a winner too.

★★★★★ — Anika, 2024-07

I enjoyed the food and the place was well lit. The service was fine as well, nothing extraordinary but just as expected. The prices were a bit expensive and no combinations so before you know it you are pending $30-$40 for side of eggs and a plate French toast with a small side of veggies.

★★★★☆ — Celestina, 2024-03

I’ve been a handful of times. Today was no different. I love their options - how they have wine & beer, AND cocktails if you’re feeling a little spunky. Today I ordered a dine-in cortado (hot), and set of (2) beef empanadas, big slice of their honey cake, and the seasonal cardamom latte w/ orange zest (hot) to-go.
