Went to the farmers market and bought a slice of pizza. I needed to find a nice refreshing drink afterwards and stopped by this place. To avoid being rude I sat outside to hurriedly finish my slice of pizza. Less than 15 seconds later, the owner went outside to tell me the seats were for customers. I told her I was trying to finish my last bite of pizza so I could get a drink from her cafe. Honestly it was just uncomfortable and weird. I wouldn’t want to be around her again ew.

The space is nice but not good service. I had a spill and the woman is very stingy with napkins. She gave me two small cocktail napkins even though I had coffee all over my hands. Most places just have napkins easily available. My Americano got messed up so she remade it which is nice, but she's also very stingy with the milk. Not having napkins available is a reason I'd never go back there.

Very rude! Had a coffee and decide to bought some tarts from this place. The lady literally asked me to leave after buying tart or buy coffee from me.Well, sure! Even if you don’t want me there just say it nicely! No need to be rude! Anyway.

The owners of the grocery store are absolutely lovely. I love going in there. The owner of the café, on the other hand, is another story. Last week, I bought a coffee here, and finally decided that it would be the last time I did so. Last year, she was rude to my father, who came in, an elderly man who is visiting. We have been here for many years, and would love to go to our neighborhood coffee shop, but she treats us not only as if we are strangers but as if we are unwelcome. Life is hard, but that is no excuse to treat people poorly and have them leave the coffee shop less happy than when they came in. It’s the antithesis of customer service.

It's great that you're still ipwn. I went there when it was Stop and Gi. We'd walk over there a lot for groceries and candy.

I love this local spot for coffee and pastries. The owners of the coffee shop and grocery are both so kind - it's a family owned business and it shows. You feel a part of the neighborhood! The coffee is great and the pastries - from Le Fournie - are delish. I recommend this over Herkimer, which is right up the street.

I come here almost every day. The owners of the cafe and grocery store are beyond lovely and sweet. The pastries are delicious and the coffee is smooth too! This cafe is precious to the neighborhood and is a great place to visit after walking through Ravenna Park.

Lovely little local place. Fantastic pastries. The people who run it are SO NICE. Great place to sit outside and watch the park. Make sure to use the cafe door and not the grocery store entrance to get coffee.
