First time visit. it's a very small, honestly retro (not fake) sort of little mom and pop diner. the service was awesome, the prices are so reasonably low it is restores your faith in the restaurant experience, and the place while not fancy is very clean. Homemade burger with a ton of fries for $12.50......you can't do that at a fast food joint. Salad was loaded with cranberries and nuts and bacon....Tea was $1. and the people were genuinely really nice. why go elsewhere....

I was craving a fresh green salad which proved to be a bit of a challenge until I found Twisted Mint! Ordered the very generous portion of greens with beet and feta and it did not disappoint! Hubby had the homemade soup of the day and was equally happy. Great service, cozy inside area and sweet little outdoor dining hideaway in the back.

Really great breakfast or lunch spot. I came by accident and I’ve found a new fav spot. The place Is definitely a hole in the wall, simple with no frivolous decor, total hidden gem. The coffee was fantastic, I got an oat latte (I’m very particular about what oat milk is used and these guys hit the mark) and I got the breakfast bagel. The bagel was amazing. The price was very reasonable, this was under $20.

Oh my! What great soup! The little cafe looks like a hole in the wall. But it’s cozy! Lovely service. Plus the soup was soooo good! A borscht plus bun. Lovely steaming hot plus steaming hot tea. And how smart to have cheese cake shooters! Just a nice little desert. I will be back!!!!
