We ordered some coffee, scone, and focaccia with pizza toppings (I think). We decided to eat outside since it was a nice day. The food tasted good.

We ended up coming here for breakfast one day, lunch another, and pre-dinner snacks another. My favorite thing I ordered here was the veggie stack for brunch/breakfast. They serve brekkie here until 11:30am and their poached eggs are where it is at! Their baked goods are also fresh, dense, and worth every cent. They change up their specialty scones daily at the front pastry container at the cashier. My favorite was the cheese scone - I had two of these in one day! When it's good, it's good! My friend enjoyed the fruit muesli baked slice as well as her ham and egg benedict. They have clean restrooms in the back, free WiFi, and a patio for smokers in the back as well. Service was good and free water is available with glasses in the cooler. I can't say enough about this place - what a great!

I thought the food was just okay until later that night (27 Nov 2025) I got violently ill. One of…read morethe specials was seafood linguini. Can't say for sure but I believe the mussels were bad. I got food poisoning from this dish. My wife had the gnocchi and she was fine. After dinner, we shared a gelato from another cafe so I know it was the seafood linguini that made me sick that night.

We came around dinner time and was told it'd be a 30 min wait or so which is fine. We got some glasses of wine and sat outside (which can use some more heat lamps but is what it is). Ultimately had to wait for close to 70 mins before we got our food in a silent fashion. No mention of the wait. The food itself was fine, nothing to write home around but decent for the area. Bao bun was average but pork belly as good as you'd expect. The bowl was light and had some decent seasoning, but a bit expensive for what you're getting. And for the price and wait, would've ate anywhere else in town.

While most folks…read moreheaded to the "obvious" cafe, a few of us thought of giving some business to the other cafes. 30+ minutes to make an omelette in a lightly trafficked restaurant is a bit too much. Had to leave without breakfast because the bus was leaving. Felt sorry for the girl behind the counter but as a business, knowing that tour buses are going to come in for the one hour each day and not be prepared for the influx of people is just silly. Get some people for the the one hour and then go back to bed or whatever. Smoothie was good, and I think the food would have been great if they could make it in time. Hope they fix their service issue.
