What a lovely little café/bakery! Emphasis on lovely, and emphasis on little…read more
I met a friend here today for a coffee. She lives in the area so has been here many times before. She said the cakes are wonderful and she orders them here for special occasions. Of course, it was all new to me, so I checked out the display of gorgeous cakes and tarts, and the platters of various cookies and pastries, too.
The cakes seemed to be priced from $35-50, which I know is on a par with cake pricing in the city. They all looked beautiful. The small tarts looked to-die-for, but they were $9. That's a lot more than the tarts I've seen anywhere else, really, so I steered away from those.
I got a croissant for $4 and a chai latte for $4.50. The croissant was ok. Not the fluffiest I've ever had, but okay. The chai latte was fantastic, one of the best I've had, really. And at the cash they had a plate of gold foiled-covered large homemade caramels, and I got two. Just had one just now and OMG, if you like caramel (as I do), you MUST try these. Truly unbelievably good!
As I mentioned in my first paragraph, this place is quite tiny. Like, they had three small tables that seat two people each. (Maybe four, but I think three). So if you plan on meeting a friend for coffee here and dining inside, I'd recommend going at an off-time, for sure. (If it's nice out, there'd be some seating outside. But hey, winter is upon us).
One added benefit here: there is plenty of free street parking, all around the cafe. Nice!
