Came here in a whim after a long run and were happily surprised. The subs are amazing and the portions are perfect, quite filling. The owner is also super nice. Will 100% be back.

Bring cash. They have wifi and a cute patio in the back. The owner and the staff were very sweet. My BLT was yummy.

The woman who I assume to be the owner is very sweet and attentive. The music creates a very calming and pleasant atmosphere. The plants are very pretty, especially on the back patio! There was a lot of great bougainvillea in bloom! The cafe is filled with paintings and beautiful pieces of art that adds to the charming vibe! There’s also a piano for customers to play—We didn’t use it, but is a really nice touch! The cafe appears so unassuming from the street, but is so large and cozy once you go in!

My partner and I both really enjoyed the sandwiches. I’d definitely recommend the vegetarian eggplant sandwich on a sweet french roll. The chai latte was a bit weak, though still good. However, the cafe latte with syrups was very nice! They definitely don’t skimp on the latte foam!

Great service, very sweet and charming business :)

Really cute place! The food is decently priced and I enjoyed their decor and rosemary sub. I wish it were not Zelle or Cash only, but otherwise it's a good time.

Comfortable neighborhood cafe with nice menu of breakfast, brunch and lunch offerings, pastries and salads. Friendly staff, good service. Several levels of seating, relaxing atmosphere and backyard patio seating. Great place to chat with friends or read in a corner.

I usually get cappuccino here, and today I stopped in to use the bathroom. An older lady forced me to buy something just to use it, and on top of that, she didn’t accept any cards. I had to ask my friend to send a Zelle payment because I didn’t have any cash. As a woman, I really needed to use the bathroom. Honestly, this place doesn’t feel welcoming or humane!

Stopped by this cute cafe for brunch! The cafe is big and spacious with seating. They also have a backyard patio!

Only complaint was that we waited SO long for a salad & a sandwich (that was shared between 2 people). It wasn’t busy at the time we went, only 1 other pair of patrons ahead of us yet we waited almost 30 minutes for food that shouldn’t take that long to prepare.

The food was delicious and service was very commendable and kind, however we were a little too hungry to fully enjoy the meal after waiting so long!

The atmosphere here is what is so cool about the place. It’s like your in someone’s house in the 1970s. Food is great too, but be prepared to wait a bit.

Eclectic cafe with delicious sandwiches and good coffee. I gave it 4 stars not 5 because they only accept cash and zelle. In 2025 I just don't carry cash. Josephine the server was awesome. I will come back but I do wish you would add credit cards
