This was a complete surprise find. I went there for lunch. Everything was fantastic. If you’re in the area I strongly suggest that you go. It’s a cute French café with deserts, sandwiches and some entrées and some soup.

If you’re looking for a local gem, this woman-owned café is it! Elissa, the owner, has created a French-inspired menu that’s both comforting and delicious. From fresh sandwiches and crisp salads to daily specials and baked goods, everything here is made with so much care and flavor. The empanadas are an absolute must-try (so good!).

What I love most is the variety—whether you’re in the mood for a deli-style favorite or something with a French twist, Elissa always has something incredible on the menu. It’s the perfect spot for a quick lunch, a casual meeting, or just treating yourself to something fresh and homemade. If you live or work in the area, you definitely need to stop by—you’ll leave already planning your next visit.

Good food, I dislike they call chile verde what to me is salsa Verde, but the taste is the important thing and it was great.
