I love the food at Ciao, Gloria! But it really is a take away place. There’s rarely room for people to sit inside, and as is most places these days it’s overrun with people on laptops.

Nice and active cafe with plenty of desert and menu options. The staff were very friendly and helpful in suggestions. Best item bought was the Banana Walnut Bread, though everything was pretty good. Maybe the only complaint was that some of the pastries would’ve been better warmed up though wouldn’t have known until after taking a bite. Would definitely go back if I’m in the area and hopefully the Cinnamon Bun will be available next time ??
A nice and bright spot, but can get quite busy on the weekends since it’s a first come first serve basis with the seating. People working there were very nice. The ricotta toast was ok; even with all the toppings it felt like the taste could be punchier. The AVEC with bacon was delicious.

For the life of me I will never understand why they stopped selling the cinnamon rolls.Overall this place is solid and probably the best counter-order breakfast nearby. Breakfast sandwiches occasionally too salty, some of the baked goods are hit or miss, but when this place shines it’s outstanding. Nothing better than sitting outside on a nice day with a sandwich and a coffee.

Had an amazing brunch here! I came with a friend and we managed to snag a table right away (though it was a weekday). I tried:+ Nonfat latte - great + BEC - the bacon was incredible + Frittata - great + Cinnamon bun - perfect+ Ginger molasses cookie - perfect + Apple pear crumb torta - awesomeWould return if only for the baked goods. Awesome spot!

As a Florida girl who was blessed to know somebody that knew this place, all I can say is I hate my friend who brought me here because I haven't been able to STOP THINKING about their AVEC sandwich & it's so far away from me now! This adorable cafe had the best breakfast sandwich I believe I've ever had to this day and will I 100% be coming here everytime I visit. I had also tried their coffee cake which paired perfectly with my iced chai latte & both very delicious! Love them using old cans to store silverware & napkins on the tables. There is a small amount of seating available indoors but enough to enjoy your food & go. Staff is friendly & bathroom is well kept.

Great restaurant with great food. Bright, modern space. Popular!
Haven’t had a fudgy chocolatey brownie in a while and I’m glad I got it from here. Coffee was reliably good. Space can be packed and limited but people gladly share tables. Staff is pleasant and attentive.

OMG! The food was fantastic! My sandwich was so tasty. It left your mouth wanting more. I picked up Pasta and Olive Oil while I was there. I cooked it up last night. Pasta was fantastic with the olive oil.

At Ciao, Gloria, you order at the front before finding yourself a table. There's a lot of tables inside as well as outside. There's also lots of outlets for working on your laptop. It can be tough to find a table during their peak hours but if you wait a bit, the tables seemed to open up fairly quickly (at least on a weekday afternoon).The people at the counter are always super friendly and will provide recommendations on their pastry options. I got a cinnamon bun and it was phenomenal. The cream cheese frosting wasn't too sweat and the bread was soft and had a nice cinnamon spread. I also really enjoyed their lattes. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their pastries and sandwiches as they all looked so good.

The ricotta toast was SO GOOD that I got two orders and ate them by myself. I heard other regulars talk very lovingly about the pastries. The staff is just so warm and the ambience+music choice is ?Already dreaming and can't wait to be back for more ricotta toast. ?

Recently discovered this place though I live just down the street. Love it! The food is fresh and delicious, the pastries are sooo good. They always have plenty and don't run out. Coffee is very good (a rarity). They let you sit and work - also a rarity. Employees friendly and they keep the line moving. Can be crowded but is very peaceful outside of mealtimes.
