I swear these girls are all master chefs. We get food catered by them all the time and it doesn't matter the cuisine, type, or ethnicity of the food, it's always great! Their range of skill is insane. Highly recommend ?

Went there a few more times, and tried more food. Besides the Elmisa Toast, which is a must-have, the Healthier Riser is super yummy! The Elmisa Toast is even better than before as it's very crunchy! It's now my go-to cafe wherever I am around that area. Highly recommend this place!

First time here. Food is very tasty! I ordered the avocado burrata honey toast with red pepper flakes (forget their name for it). Chai latte and mint tea tasted excellent. Everyone in our group like their food and drinks. Friendly service and order was organized and arrived pretty quick. I also liked they have acai bowls- healthy options (I will try bowls next time). The downside to this place: there are very few places to sit! It was odd. We were group of six and there were no tables big enough. All tables were taken when arrived. We managed to get two small round tables where we had to sit three and three - very cramped. Outside we could have moved two tables together but still only technically fit 4. And it was too chilly to sit outside unless you were in the sun. Otherwise- would definitely come back. Just something to keep in mind if you come as a group of more than 2-4 people.

My family loves this place. We have been going for about 3 years now and it only gets better. The food is great, anything you get is very tasty. We love the BLT toast and the Bacon Havarti breakfast sandwich. As for coffee it is about a 7-10. If you enjoy Lavazza then it will be amazing for you. That is what they use for espresso. Service is always friendly and up beat! Hard workers! Ambience is chill and enjoyable.

Great sandwiches with great flavor that make your taste buds know you are eating something really good.The Roast Beef Panini is a great sandwich. I try to order different things, but I've come back to this one twice already. All the right flavors on a nice hot hoagie roll with an au jus sauce for dipping. I just drink that separately, like an onion soup. Maybe one dip, or two with the second half. I like this sandwich, and on a rainy day it's definitely appealing. The green chili tapenade and horseradish aioli brings it all together. But the rain is not needed to enjoy it. It's delicious and satisfying.Allen's Tuna is an excellent sandwich. Again it delivers where it matters most. Taste. The pickled onions make this one stand out. It's not a heavy sandwich, but packs a heavy flavor punch. It's on a jalapeno cheddar bread. Fresh arugula is a great idea.The Rula is another superb sandwich. Hot and tasty with several layers of flavor. Sliced chicken and prosciutto. The pesto jumps out all over your taste buds. A warm layer of fatty tastiness from the fresh mozzarella ends it. It's almost like you are still eating it after it's gone. When it's that good, it's like extra innings in baseball. More baseball. More flavor. The Rosemary Olive Oil bread is unique. The rosemary is prevalent from start to finish and mixes well with the other flavors. A lot of stuff going on with this one. A lot of good stuff.The bread used with these particular sandwiches are toasted and is really key to making these sandwiches come alive. Quality bread for sure.And without a doubt the best coffee around. That's why I liked this place. Lavazza coffee. Deep, rich, and tastes like what a cup of coffee should taste like. High level.The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They do care about what they do.Left to right | Roast Beef Panini, Allen's Tuna, Rula

I request NO SUGAR in any of my dressings. First bite in my salads and one of the dressings is sweet. Over the phone I was really specific of having almond milk with no sugar and I don’t know if I shouldn’t believe them. It is not the first time that they mess up with dietary restrictions. Lactose intolerance at home and at least 2-3 times they gave us coffee with milk and that hurt our stomachs. They need to pay attention to detail and provide real customer service. I hate when someone lies to me and it’s ridiculous that over the phone they said no sugar on my ElMisa Salad when I called to complain and one of the added dressings is sweet. It’s delicate when they mess up with customers healths

I LOVE this cafe! Everyone is so kind, amazing service! I wasn't sure what to get and got some amazing recommendations! I've had the Bacon Havarti and now the Breakfast Club... so delicious and filling! I've also had a hot Peanut Butter Chocolate Mocha and today an Iced Coconut Caramel Macchiato!! Yummm and a great price! The cafe has a great ambience and such cute decor! Love all of the natural light, and many seating options! Would definitely recommend :)
