I have passed this place a hundred times. Yes, today I stopped in and was pleasantly surprised. They have gluten-free wraps and bread. The unsweetened ice tea was delish. The service was on the slow side and the gluten-free wrap was crumbling and dry. I will go back and try another menu item! You should too!!!!

I've been wanting to come to this cafe for a while but never got the chance to. Today I made the time & glad I stopped in. I sat at the bar as I wanted to read & grab a quick bite. My server was Victoria, she was behind the counter handling all coffee/drink orders m, even though she was super busy she made sure to greet each customer that entered. The owner Amanda, came over to assist & the three of us had some friendly convos in between my reading. I got a very unexpectedly large cappuccino that stayed hot until my last sip & a raspberry/nut muffin that was super delicious. This stop was a great start to my Sunday morning as it was filled with cozy vibes, friendly & attentive staff & good food/coffee. I'll be returning soon!:)

Came here yesterday with my wife, because she recommended it, and it was an amazing decision. Food: my wife started with an iced green tea which was refreshing on an unexpected warm winter day and we proceeded to get a smoked turkey panini (wife) and the waiter offered a wonderful suggestion of chicken and black bean wrap which was right up my alley. Very good overall food and the smoked Gouda with my wrap really put it all together. Aesthetic: adorable little place with a diner, like bar and seating in the back. I also like the patio, which I assume would be better in the spring and summer. Service: our waiter, Max, was very nice, helpful, and discussed the things he recommended at my request which was honestly a great decision. Everything came out timely and perfect.

Love going to this warm, friendly Cafe! The food is always delicious and so interestingly presented. The ambiance is artsy casual- like a friend’s living room. Try the smoothies!

Cute place. Service was great- very personable, and quick. Menu was extensive. Food overall was good- we ordered lunch- burger, steak sandwich and the like- those fries are really perfect. No mushy white fries here. Had the chai latte and like wow! Amazing flavor and not too sweet. Would def. come again, but would make reservations first.

Busy spot on a Sunday. Wait line was long so I went with takeout. I got the Steak and Eggs and GF got the French Toast. Steak and eggs was pretty good, decent amount of steak and two eggs cooked the way you want. The steak was very underseasoned, little salt and pepper and maybe some garlic and butter would go a long way here. The potatoes that came with it on the side were delicious, well seasoned and perfectly cooked.The French toast was pretty good as well but they forgot to include any syrup on it or on the side. I had real maple syrup at home so it wasn't a big deal but people on the go would be frustrated. The French toast was nice brioche bread and very spongy so it soaked in all the syrup and was absolutely delectable with each and every bite.I also had the Americano and that was fine, I've had better but it was a decent cup and I had no complaints. It was a good experience overall, just wish they would season the steak a little better next time.

I had an amazing time coming here for lunch with my coworkers. Upon entrance we were greeted and told to sit wherever we would like. From the moment we entered I already knew I would leave happy there. Halloween decor was very cute and I'm a big person on Halloween! We ordered the fried ravioli which was made to perfection. It was def tasty especially dipping it in marinara. I liked the crunchiness to it. Then I had the hot chocolate which was pretty much chocolate heaven! I was surprised the amount of hot chocolate I got , I'm so used to getting a small cup when ordering but this was def worth it. I personally had the Cuban which was enough for two people to share. It was very tasty however lacked some mustard which is fine I'm sure I could've asked for some but didn't because it tasted just as great without it . I had a side of fries which were nice and crispy not over salted at all. I tried a bite of my friend's Mexican panini which was also very tasty especially the kick of spiciness which made it even better. My friend had the hungry human which she said was good particularly loved the French toast . I can't wait to come back. Service was amazing, all the staff there were friendly and attentive.

We were a party of four. Designed nicely, coffee was good (always a plus). Little cramped but not bad.Food was great. I typically don’t eat homefries but I liked them. Sausage was delicious. Overall, great breakfast place. Oh, parking can be an issue, watch the signs.Parking: We found parking but can be difficult
