Not sure what else is on the menu as we just ordered apple pie with whipped cream. A single slice is plenty for two people. It is not overly sweet, the crust is really good (a slight taste of Biscoff cookies to me), and it has a few raisins in it as well. It was a nice night nice so we sat outside. The patio is large and seats plenty. The service is good, not great, but I was okay with it. My needs were meager - get my pie! N*joy!

They make about 140 apple pies per day, so you would think that their apple pies are to die for. I thought they were good, but not spectacular (1 star off). I have had Dutch apple pie in other cafes in the area that are just as good. Service was poor. Servers were inattentive and unfriendly (1 star off). It took us awhile to get our apple pie slices, despite how many pies they make. Our server never checked on us.
