Really the ricotta filled ones are sfinge, but they are so good! It's really tough to find sfinge, too, so it was amazing that they have them. And since I was there I got cannoli, as well. Yummy! Gonna have to come back for lunch sometime. Sandwiches look great! It looks like when weather is nice they will have some outside seating, as well. Parking can be challenging and there is a small lot behind the building, but I couldn't tell if it was only for the apartments that are there or also for customers of the cafe? I will have to ask next time I go. If the parking lot is available that makes it so much easier.

Everything was delicious, but the Choux was my favorite.. the salted cream and cherry sauce were perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The Cortado was rich and flavorful, and paired beautifully with the pastries. They also have a lunch menu after 11:30 with lighter options like sandwiches and mushroom soup, which I would recommend too. The ambience is chic and inviting, and the patio looks like it would be especially nice on a beautiful day. The service was warm and polished, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I would recommend if you're in the Niagara Falls area.

The one employee who was there was very kind and prepared our drinks quickly despite being the only one in. We all enjoyed! Just because I noticed some of these reviewes are quite old, I would add that they do take credit cards here (they are NOT cash-only) and they certainly do have espresso. It was a little tricky to find due to signage, but we're glad we did!

Don't stop on if you're in a hurry if you want some lunch, but if you want to grab a quick dessert, definitely worth it. It may be deceiving on the outside with limited parking, but if you can find a spot, get out and relax. As we entered, we were greeted and seated Immediately. A quaint little place with a casual bar, already filled with patrons enjoying a cold one on a hot summer day. The coffee and sandwiches were delicious. You would think a grilled cheese sandwich can only be made one way. But the cheese and the bread with tomatoes was scrumptious. A simple hot chocolate was also a delicacy, worth the order. The best part of it, that's not the end of the experience. As we enjoyed our lunch, they kept on bringing out pastries and pies out to the front counter. Each one looking better than the next. We decided to take the peach cobbler to go. So that evening for dessert and next morning for breakfast. They really hit the spot! So for a place not on the tourist routes, make a detour and grab a dessert. It's worth the trip!

We had to wait 10 minutes for a table because they are very popular. It's located in a cute town along the waterfront and we found it a bit difficult to find parking. The menu is nice because they have a lot of gluten free options but everything at this restaurant is an add-on. I ordered a gluten free pancake with 2 eggs. The pancake was the biggest pancake I have ever received at a restaurant. It was bigger than my hand. It tasted good and went well with the eggs. Toast would have been extra and there was a surcharge to make the pancakes gluten free. I found this restaurant more expensive than the other restaurant we frequent when visiting the area. The ambiance is cute and typical of a traditional diner / breakfast place. Would We Return? Possibly, if I'm in the mood for pancakes.
