“Stopped by Blue Ridge Cafe and was pleasantly surprised! I didn’t realize it was a Greek cafe OR that they served Greek treats and everything we tried was delicious. The spinach pie is absolutely to die for—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The food, atmosphere, and service were all wonderful. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!“

We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal and genuine hospitality. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I'm a barista in France and discovered this place by accident while visiting. Great coffee and friendly staff ! Love the synesso ! took some Kenyan AA Kaibu and Rwandan back to France for cupping it with coworkers :) Way better than the "blue pretencious stuff" you can find in the city ;)“

“I have to admit, my expectations weren’t all that high going in, but this place completely caught me off guard. As soon as you walk through the doors, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting, and they did a great job with the build out.

We ordered a few different plates, and every one of them was packed with flavor. Everything was well seasoned, fresh, and really tasty.

It’s not often a restaurant surprises me like this, but this one definitely did. I’ll absolutely be back.“

“Best cafe and pastry shop ever.“

“Overall restaurant was excellent. Food was prepared well and was delicious. Especially liked the rice balls and the pistachio ricotta cheesecake! Waitstaff was attentive, but not intrusive. Prices were in line with today's restaurant prices. Would've been nice to have Italian background music or something soft rather than rock which was a little loud at first.“

“Some of the best pancakes I have had in a while, perfect size everything about it was great including the service“
