I really don’t like they vacuum the floor during ppl dinning. How do I eat with all the dust flying all over the air. Please educate your employee.

Hidden gem in the village.. delicious food all throughout the day.. staff so friendly & very welcoming..

Loved it. It was super packed and we initially were told there would be a 20 minute wait for two. It only took about 7 minutes. We were sat and Dylan was right there offering drinks. Our food came out pretty quick and we enjoyed the stuffed french toast, eggs benedict and our fantastic lattes. Great neighborhood spot

WOW. I was blown away by this little cafe, the coziness and comfort I felt walking into the restaurant made me want to eat here again and again and again. In fact- we did!! We were staying in the hotel next door so we came in for breakfast several times and made it in for dinner one night and had the best pork Marsala with crispy potatoes that makes me drool just thinking about it. BUT the real star was the Pesto Eggs Benedict, the pesto hollandaise was to die for and my husband’s Huevos Rancheros was so amazing with the house made sauce!!
I was thoroughly impressed and amazed by the kitchen that makes practically everything in house and with love. You can really tell the owner takes tremendous pride in her restaurant and pours her heart out into her work. Definitely make the trip here, you won’t regret it!!

To owner's response: maybe the Lox dissamblage makes sense to some, it didn't to me. I don't like to assemble my food. I'm just paying for the ingredients in this case, and not for someone to prepare me the food. I don't enjoy preparing the food, otherwise I would eat at home.
The juice. I feel like owner's response only proves my point: the juice was not freshly pressed at the restaurant from oranges just cut open, because that's what freshly pressed means literally. Also, just because it's a small local company who delivers the juice product, that doesn't say much about their process integrity. Reminds me when shops say that their pastries are fresh from this morning, and what they mean is that they are freshly delivered to them in the morning. When they were baked, who knows, which definitely makes them not freshly made!

Mixed feelings about this place. Ordered lox. The ingredients were great, ripe tomato, quality salmon, a lot of it, BUT it all came disassembled, including a chunk of hard cream cheese.

Cannot say the same about supposedly fresh pressed orange juice. If you make your own fresh orange juice at home, you know this was not it. It was a Simply Orange at best.

The service was non existent. Waiters were gathered by the registers discussing patrons. They were all adult women.
