We checked out this place for the first time on a recent Sunday afternoon. The place was hopping with wonderful live music (The Lost Cats - jazz / R and B), and the brunch was delicious. Please keep the live music coming on weekends - such a good vibe!

Wonderful food. Music was just right for a Sunday morning. Thanks! Park across the street - it will make your visit easier.

Tasty food (when they get your order right), tasty drinks, but the service is lacking. When we sat down, it took a long time for them to come and acknowledge us. I thought that might have just been a one-off, but noticed another party eventually getting up and asking the bartender about ordering as they had been sitting for a while without being acknowledged as well. When the waitress did come, she wasn't friendly or welcoming at all, and it felt like we were inconveniencing her for taking up her time. When the food came, my husband unrolled his silverware from the napkin to find out that he only had a knife, which wasn't going to help him eat his omelette. We looked for the waitress, but after a while passed without seeing her my husband got up to track her down. Her response was to say that she thought she gave us silverware - kind of odd to have to explain that you did but the fork was missing. Once a fork was acquired, my husband cut into his omelette to see that the lox that he ordered in his omelette was missing. Time to try and track down our missing waitress again. When we finally got her, she went to the kitchen to get a plate of lox for him, but at that point the entire omelette was cold. Cold eggs are not great. When they do get your order right - the food is tasty! I had the breakfast sandwich on a croissant, and it was warm and delicious, with a perfectly toasted buttery croissant. I gave my husband the other half (as it was a good size), and he was much more impressed with the sandwich. We wanted a second round of drinks, and of course our waitress was nowhere to be found again, so we went to the bar to order from someone else. The drinks were tasty and not overly sweet. It seemed like they used fresh ingredients. I really wanted to like this place and give them my support as they are women and minority owned (and being a Hispanic woman myself)... but I'm not sure we would be back. Street parking can be found pretty easily on a weekend morning, and the place was mostly empty while we were there (so no worries on a line). It's a shame that the service was honestly offensive, as the food (when it is served warm and your order is correct) is quite tasty and the cocktails were very nice.

I was looking for a place to get some work done and came here. This place is nice and chill but more for a social meet. Not so much for someone wanting to get some work done. But I had a caramel latte and a strawberry Nutella croissant and they were really good. Services was good, but parking a bit hard to find. Overall I would come back with a friend on a weekend.

This cafe is a bright and cheery spot for brunch on a lazy weekend. My friend and I enjoyed it and I would enjoy going back, and maybe sit outside at a patio table. It was busy (as brunch in a good place usually is) when we were there so getting server attention took a little extra time but not bad at all. The food and coffee were good.

Meh, food was decent but a smidge dry. Service was slow took over an hour to get food. Ambiance was super cute .

Food and drinks were really good, service not so much.We will give it another chance, maybe our server was having a bad day.We ate outside on their covered parklet, which was really kind of cozy and cute, we had our dog with us.
My partner and I stopped in here for a light dinner. We had a few cocktails and tried the charcuterie board and Margarita flatbread pizza. We really enjoyed everything we tried and had an amazing night. We will definitely be coming back here for date nights.
Decent food but the service was terrible !!! Waited ages to be served even though it was not even 1/3 full. Rude waiter. Rather spend your money somewhere

Played trivia with a group of friends. Fun, but took a while between rounds. Very small place so pretty crowded.Great food! Warm olives were a pleasant surprise. Hummus delight. Goat cheese was fabulous!Great service!
They have live music, trivia nights, paint nights, brunch, lunch dinner and drinks! They also serve coffee into the evening, which is nice because all the other cafes in town close early. They have a nice dog-friendly outdoor patio and great cocktails! Great wine selection, amazing cocktails and super friendly staff. It's a great palce to bring a date, or even take your family.
