The staff is always very cheerful and they all wear straw hats - I love that little detail.

These flat breads come in different varieties: filled with spinach, filled with spinach and feta cheese, filled with potatoes, or plain. In fact, when you come early enough in the morning you can still witness a lady preparing these delicious flat breads...and that just smells amazingly! They also offer quite a decent selection of baklava, which I usually can't resist buying on or two pieces...after all, if you're already planning to have a Mediterranean-themed meal, you might as well round it up with some sugary desserts!

A long counter runs the length of the shop from front to back, filled with an array of goodies. Breads, savouries and towards the back biscuits and cakes. I didn't get to sample the sweets on offer. A lot of them seem to appeal to the eye perhaps more than refined tastes: decorated meringues and that kind of thing. Go in there with a kid and there's no way you are going to go out with your wallet intact. Instead I got to sample a speciality of theirs: a type of flatbread with a stuffing of my choice. I choose a mix of feta and spinach, but mince and potatoes were also on offer. It was very tasty and filling, I'd go back for another. Also freshly made: a couple of ladies sit by round platforms in the window of the shop making them to order! They have tables near the back of the shop where you can enjoy food and a drink (nice hot chocolate). There are loos, though they are not the best. The staff are friendly. Café standard, but a little different.

They have an excellent selection of pastries to eat in or take away, and this place is always buzzing. It has a great vibe though can be a bit frenetic sometimes. My favorite thing here is the chocolate almond croissant -- and they always seem to go really quickly. Prices are on the higher end but the product is also of a higher quality IMO. Service is usually quick and friendly. Coffee is also good here.

The stars are for the food. The service here is absolutely terrible. I went after the lunch rush,…read moreso there were only about four patrons there. I ordered a latte from the hostess and a salad from the display case. I received the salad right away and then waited nearly 45 minutes for the latte. When the latte arrived it was lukewarm. While I waited the staff talked on the phone or chatted with one another. The salad was good, but the terrible service means I will sadly have to give this place a miss. It's too bad too because I prefer to support smaller chains, particularly during these troubling times. I recommend this place only if time doesn't matter to you and only if you order from the items on display.

While I used to visit every day, things have changed... The coffee is still good, but it takes a lot longer for it to be made. The croissants (which are made there - yum!) are often underbaked. The staff has changed, and have been replaced with people who are notably not as friendly. It's like all the things that made this place special have been replaced with generic coffee-shop options. In the midst of summer, they've stopped ordering lids for iced lattes. Once, they were out of all lids (for all coffees). I'm posting this more in hopes that they can turn it around, rather than to dissuade people from visiting.
