The café itself is cozy and pretty, so I stopped by with good expectations. I ordered three Americanos and one matcha latte, matcha just taste like milk all three Americanos came with milk in them by mistake. I let the staff know, and since all three had already been made, I asked if they could at least remake two properly as Americanos. Unfortunately, the staff member who made the mistake seemed visibly annoyed, making us feel as if we were being unreasonable.
Even worse, the two “remade” drinks still had milk in them—half poured out, then diluted with water and espresso. I just accepted them but ended up leaving most of it. It was quite disappointing, especially because the café is so charming and the neighborhood is nice to walk around. Sadly, the way the two staff members handled the situation left a negative impression. I don’t think I’ll be visiting again

Very cute/cozy cafe decor. If you are doing takeout, would recommend standing right in front of the pickup area and watching for your food/drink especially if you are hard of hearing. Barista was not calling out names loudly enough for pick up during a busy hour.
Had to inquire about my drink after 10 minutes because I didn’t hear my name called out. At that point, my hot drink was no longer hot.
As for my order: Barista did not ask what sugar level I wanted and made my chai latte way too sugary. Nice, balanced amount of chocolate in the chocolate croissant. Knocked off a star off of atmosphere because the inside trash was overflowing.

I like their sandwiches and salads. But the quality of my regular sandwich has deteriorated, and I have decided to give it a break. Coffee is highly overpriced, and the cashier has repeatedly overcharged that that needed to be corrected. If you have a coffee card, even after 10 drinks, they will acknowledge the card but forget to take it off the bill. Very weird way of ringing the end client.

AMAZING PLACE! Perfect for all people - couples, families, children, teenagers! The food is amazing there are a lot of vegetarian and gluten-free options. The service is amazing. I especially really like the staff and it really feels like a taste of Italy! 🇮🇹

My 2nd time here but the 1st time, I didn't like the coffee & because they don't have so much options, so this time, I went somewhere else to buy it. Anyway, after almost an hour roaming around undecided where to eat (because I'm not from the area), I finally decided to grab some Tuna Panini. I'm glad I did cuz it's the best Tuna Sandwich I've ever had -- the multigrain bread was crunchy & the proportion of tuna to the bread & salad was spot on, not too much mayo which I really love...unlike other Tuna Sandwiches I had in the past where the filling is dripping while you take a bite on it. The only thing though is that they haven't updated their pricing either online or the menu. It is stated that it's $13.95 online while $14.95 on their menu, that's why I was quite surprised when I had to pay $17 (with tax but excluding the tip). Other than that, everything was great!

All I can say is wow!!! This place has it all. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner they have something my heart desires. I highly recommend coming in for any craving you have at any time of the day. Service is amazing! Run by an Italian family that knows the way to your heart. Whether it’s coffee or wine, croissants, cannolis, paninis or pasta !!!! You need to try it out

We stopped in to get dessert after a wonderful lunch in the area. The shop was small but quaint. They had several tables inside but more outside. For my dessert I had the tiramisu and my girlfriend had the cherry cream gelato. Both desserts were absolutely delicious. They also have some dining options but we only wanted dessert.
Don't order the chicken pesto panini unless you like flavorless, limp, processed and reconstituted chicken-like meat. Multi grain bread was very good

Our favorite paninis are always there with a latte and a smile. We love sitting outdoors but sometimes we crave it so badly that we grab a panini to go!

Vegetarian options: Foods good, service not so good and portions are really small. So many other great places to eat in the area.
