The decor is thoughtful and inviting and there are tons of places to sit including the upstairs and a small room for a more intimate experience. Service was great and the woman tending was friendly and even made gorgeous latte art. I'm so happy that I'm here for another day so I can visit this cafe again tomorrow morning!

This is such a cute place! Great ambiance and friendly staff. The pastries are delicious as well.read more

My partner and I split a Mediterranean dip, and we each got a Pita Gyro. The food was excellent; definitely my favorite gyro in town! Really liked my Nitro Cold Brew coffee as well. Atmosphere was nice; the place had a great vibe. They've clearly put a lot of work and polish into making the ambiance pleasant, and it shows. Everything was very clean and well kept, and you could see the importance the staff put on keeping it that way. Great food, excellent service -- we can't wait to visit again!

It gets one star because of the younger ladies working here. They have to start somewhere and I…read morehope they learn from this place. The breakfast menu was minimal? 3 American style items and crepes. If you're going to open for breakfast, read the room. You need to make the menu for most. I ordered biscuits and gravy, bacon, and my eggs over medium. I did get that, but one half of one egg was over medium. The gravy was from a can, no doubt. And the biscuits were pre-made. But that's not what threw me back initially. The food came in a Styrofoam to-go container. STYROFOAM TO-GO container! Are y'all that cheap you can't wash dishes? I mean, the "silverware" is plastic as well. Being in a liberal state, you think you would have been shamed into not contributing to the landfills like this. Then you have the old guy on the griddle who thinks this is Benihana. Scrambled eggs are normally scrambled in a container. This dude cracks the eggs onto the griddle and literally chops them as they cook on the flat top. No stirring the yolk, nothing but chopping. Next, you have a soda machine that screams "yes, we are so cheap we are showing you in everything we have". Let's not forget the "mug club". $128 plus tax for beverage fills. I'm not sure anyone would visit enough to make this worth it. I am not so sure the owner has ever done this before. Needless to say, 1st and last visit.

The smaller bar area is the first thing you see as you enter; it looks fun with all the decor and…read morethe bar stocked full of various liquor and beer selections. Walking in you'll either be greeted and asked how many to be seated and taken to a table OR immediately and blatantly be told they aren't seating any more people for the remainder of the evening despite it being well over an hour or two before closing time. Most of the staff are otherwise friendly, but attentive service seems to be hit or miss; they can easily and obviously become overwhelmed or agitated, even despite not having a big crowd. We've seen the cooks and other staff out front of the establishment smoking, which isn't a great look in and of itself, especially having witnessed the staff telling incomers that they can't be seated or that food orders will take a significant amount of time to be prepared. Otherwise the food is very good and decently priced, the eating areas and bathrooms are clean.

Didn't really have any expectations for this place. Surprisingly, they had a good number of seafood options, which I'm always thankful for. Their shrimp tacos were okay. They were more on the salty side. Rice and salad were standard. They had some drinks that they offer which were not on the menu so just ask if you're curious. There's parking right outside, seating indoors and outdoors, they can split the check, but I think that service could have been better because it was a bit dodgy at times. For example, they forgot to bring something my friend ordered that they asked for 10 minutes ago or so.
