Not happy about the service. The gentleman at the counter seemed to be upset in general about clarifying questions. Didn’t get a good vibe from the place.

The service was truly terrible. The man appeared to be upset with me for requesting non-fat milk :(

The place itself is a generic Cafe, however, it has a Mediterranean/ east European twist To the food.

I ordered a black Turkish coffee which is brewed with cardamom. Very yummy. Great mouth feel.

Next was a beef and mushroom piroshki, with one piece of baklava.

The piroshki was frozen, but the owner air fried it to perfection. You wouldn't even know the difference.

In the baklava was thick and gooey halfway down and perfectly flaky and crispy on the top half. Definitely an experience.

I definitely felt golden after my visit.

(Also, there is a large selection of wine bottles. It's really easy to become mesmerized with the fantastic selection.)

I’m honestly confused by the 4.5-star rating. If you're reviewing this place as a convenience store, then sure, 4.5 stars might make sense. But as a café, it leaves a lot to be desired.

It’s essentially just a convenience store with a few shaky tables, a strange bathroom that feels more like a storage closet, and an oddly cranky (borderline rude) staff member running the place. It’s not the kind of environment you’d want to sit and relax in, let alone study, work, or enjoy a quiet cup of coffee.

There are several much nicer cafes nearby such as Brioche Café, Flywheel, or Wooden Coffeehouse that offer a far better atmosphere for coffee, conversation, or getting some work done.

Stopped in for chai latte and Turkish coffee. Great little coffee house. Didn't eat but prices looked very reasonable.

Wonderful coffee shop with desserts, food, and selection of beer, wine, and other items. The proprietor creates a lovely atmosphere and it’s a great place to sit inside or outside and enjoy your coffee.

Must try affogato! Combination of baklava, Mitchell’s ice cream, and espresso is out of this world. New favorite dessert, perfect treat for a sunny day.

Great coffee, open late.

Sam, the owner, is arrogant and rude. He was patronizing me since I got inside.
Also, he charged me $4 for a croissant that was nothing special at all, while saying (again and again) that his products and coffee are the best in the world...
Don't go there.
