What our guests are saying

My favorite neighborhood cafe! I have been coming here for over 10 years. It's family run, cozy, and a great place to read. They have solid good, coffee, and matcha. These are the spots I like frequenting, not just cause the staff is kind but because you feel a sense of community.

Our favorite spot. We’ve been coming here every week for a year since we discovered it. The atmosphere has a very neighborhood, community feel to it. The coffee is amazing - they use organic milk, they make their own syrups. The flourless chocolate cake (gluten free!) is a typical breakfast treat for me. Lots of tables. A great place to sit and enjoy!

I’m adding this to my fav food places I went on Tuesday And came back again on Thursday. The food and the atmosphere was so good. I had the Salmon Niçoise salad that thing was packed with so much flavor I didn’t even need the dressing.
