I recently visited Café A Mano, and overall, I couldn't have had a better experience. The…read moreatmosphere was thoughtfully crafted, and the service was friendly and attentive. I ordered the spicy Italian on a hoagie roll, which was delicious and had a great kick. What really stood out, though, was the homemade cheese spread. Its sweetness and richness added a wonderful contrast to the spicy, salty deli meat. They also have an impressive selection of prepared and frozen foods, making it the perfect place to pick up dinner for later. Overall, I would definitely recommend Café A Mano to anyone stopping in for a quick lunch or looking to grab something for dinner later.

My friend and I chose to try Cafe a Mano for lunch this past weekend. They're open until 2pm on…read moreSaturday and we got there just after 12. They only have two tables and a few barstools along the window for indoor dining, but did mention that customers often take their food across the street to the coffee shop to enjoy when space isn't available. We were able to utilize the table for two. We both ordered the Italian wedding soup, a cup for $6 each, and two sandwiches. I went with the spicy Italian on their homemade bun and my friend got the turkey pesto panini. We both enjoyed the soup and she devoured her sandwich. Unfortunately, I didn't love mine as much as I had hoped. The sandwich was cold, which isn't necessarily a problem, but the bun itself was chilled, dense, soft white bread. After picking the sandwich up a couple of times, the bun became wrinkled and slightly off-putting. I'm sure there are a lot of people who love these buns, but it wasn't the combo for me. I'd try something on sourdough or focaccia next time.

We got the Octopus, breakfast sandwich, some Koulourakia, couple cookies and a loaf of sourdough. Everything was delicious and even our 11 month old son was doing his happy dance because the food was so good! Plus 5/5 on the Americano coffee. They know how to make a solid Americano.

This is a bit out of the way for us City dwellers, but it was absolutely worth the trip. From the moment we walked in, the lively atmosphere and energy of the place grabbed us. Such a great vibe, with the owners doing their thing and the staff bustling around making everything happen. We started with the trio of dips: hummus, feta, and tzatziki, served with olives and their delicious pita. Then came the spanakopita, which is definitely shareable, especially with a little salad on the side. And because every good brunch needs something sweet, we ordered the loukoumades. Savory + sweet = the perfect combination! Everything was just good!.......fresh, flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what you want when you're out celebrating. And of course, we couldn't leave empty-handed. We took home a loaf of raisin sourdough, which may have been the best decision of the day. A lively spot, wonderful food, great owners, and a staff that clearly keeps things moving. Anthos, I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

The baguette was slightly crunchy and not quite as dry as others (4.25/5). The plain and everything bagels were also good (4.5/5); they were nice, airy, and chewy. The tomato and olive focaccia was pretty good and not too oily (4.5/5), so I was able to eat a lot more of it in a sitting without it upsetting my stomach or feeling gross. The sourdough was crunchy and airy (4.5/5). My favorite was the Calabrian Pitta (5/5); it was very airy and slightly crunchy but also soft and chewy! I demolished it even faster than the others and will definitely be going back for more! The service was great too; the staff are nice and friendly (4.5/5).

The cinnamon rolls are massive and iced to perfection and the cronuts are plentiful in flavors that could entertain every palate. I grabbed a Maple Cinnamon Roll and the daily special Biscoff Cronut. My friends grabbed a Classic Cinnamon Roll, the Raspberry Cronut, and a Cosmic Brownie. But as we were getting out bakery goods boxed up, we decided to check out the menu and grab lunch here too!! Glad we did.... Gordo's small but mighty menu had so many options that we wanted to try!!! I ordered three individual tacos - Cheeseburger, Loaded Potatas Bravas, and Nashville Chicken. My friends also ordered the Chopped Chicken Caesar Wrap. The FOOD slayed!!!! Everything fresh - everything seasoned to perfection!! The dining room is massive with many different options and nooks to sit in! They have TVs everywhere which were great for the World Cup viewing! The waitress was super attentive and constantly ensuring that we were having the best time! I plan to come back often and hope to bring large groups to spread the joy of Gordo's.
