The coffee is horrible, there’s better instant coffee. Service is slow, but the servers seem like nice people. Food was okay, the goat in the goat cheese sandwich must’ve been very thin. The cheese was bland. Overall a place with a lot of sun, and that’s most of it.

Came here on a rainy day and was surprised to see it packed. Seems like a popular work from home spot, which also means quite hard getting a seat on a weekday especially during lunch. The french onion soup was flavored, but dare I say a little too much cheese that most of my scoops were just hardened globs of cheese. Cappuccino was delicious and so was the pastry! Would come in again but this time take it to go and eat outside near the park :)

Great spot to do work at; they have wifi and ample seating, but beware NO OUTLETS! If you come charged, you can spend a good few hours here with some drink/food! The hours are decent too for a cafe, closing around 5pm.

Cute coffee shop, usually full but not packed. Welcoming and friendly staff. Music on the louder side, not ideal for focused work.

Very chill spot, could read their for a long time, bakery is
This is a little gem of a cafe on 3rd Ave-the food is really good and reasonably priced and the owner very friendly. They do a lot of take out.

Ambiance 5/5 - cozy inside with lots of seating options and a nice display case of both savory and sweet pastries. Food 5/5 - we came here for breakfast on a weekday, my friend got the fantastic French toast which was dense, moist, and decadently dripped in strawberry sauce with sliced strawberries and banana on top. I got the croquette madame which comes with a fried egg on top and ham and cheese between two pieces of toast. Both were extremely filling. The americano coffee was fine and the cappuccino was good (a little pricey at $5.) I liked that they served us in real mugs. The pastry selection was quite large - will have to try a croissant next time! Not sure if it has WiFi but there was someone working around 7:30am.

Today was a rainy, cold day. My sister and I needed a cozy place to sit and eat the food we got from a restaurant that offered no good seating. We stumbled upon this café, which looked decent so we walked a considerable distance simply to enjoy our food, as well as supporting the business by buying whatever drinks they offered. Fortunately, this café had available seats upon our arrival and was not as busy/overcrowded as the other cafés we checked out before arriving at this one. We got there and I was already annoyed as I stood waiting patiently for the cashier to wrap up her convo with a customer that lasted longer than it should have (that customer had already ordered and taken his sweet time to pay).Eventually, it ended. But before I was able to say a full sentence, she rudely interrupted me and directed my attention toward my sister, who had started eating her food, saying that we couldn't have outside food. I apologized, finished my order for both me and my sister, and sat down with my sister. We didn't want our food to get soggy, so my sister and I initially agreed to go somewhere else after getting our drinks but made up our minds to just eat our food outside of the café which seemed reasonable.We got settled outside in front of the café and began to eat our food and drink our drinks in peace despite being in the cold, rainy weather. However, the same woman at the register came outside to tell us that we couldn't eat our food there because it was outside food, despite us eating outside food outside of the establishment. "It's just policy," she says. When there was no sign of the policy being displayed in plain sight. We were like "Okay, that's ridiculous." But did not make much complaint.We had the decency to get something from this place (both drinks were hella milky btw), walked out with no issue, and simply sat outside in the cold, wet weather under some shelter from the rain to enjoy a meal that would've been finished in 10 minutes. Then, I asked her politely where there may be places we could go that don't enforce that policy of eating outside food outside of the establishment -thinking that she may be a local who is familiar with the café scene since she works at one. But then, her response was what pissed us off. She reacted with a stank face like I asked her a stupid question, and replied by saying for us to go to a bus stop, or a park, or just go back to the restaurant where you got the food.Wow. An older woman tells young women to go to a filthy bus stop to finish their meal in the rain. To go to a park (an outside space intended for outside activities) where not-so-stable individuals prey on those weaker than them just so we can finish our meal in the rain. To told us to return to the restaurant where we got our food when we came all that way just to eat while supporting the café. "You're welcome to eat the food we offer here." Uh, no. We're good. Not gonna force ourselves to eat food that we have no taste for.Honestly, I don't understand why it was such a hassle to be accommodating considering the weather today. Seriously miss, I don't know what you could have gained or lost being that unnecessarily strict at a café; a space where it's usually meant to be welcoming and reasonably accommodating. Have some human decency and understand that making reasonable exceptions to business policies is natural and does not ruin business integrity. It strengthens it. So let's be decent humans and do better.
