Surprisingly a great cafe near me! Really love the ambiance and the foods are great as well. A nice place to chill and relax, I was doing some homework and really love it! I would highly recommend this place you to visit and do something.

The owner is the rudest person ever, she always gives nasty looks and talks with disrespect. She will literally look at you nasty is everyone from your party doesn’t buy something.

At first this place seemed okay, we decided to try it out since the other cafes were full. I liked the decor but the space did not feel welcoming. I got a few items to try and did some work. After about an hour and a half there studying, what seemed like the owner came up to us in a very aggressive way and told us to move tables and asked us why we needed an extra chair - the place was mostly empty and there were several empty tables. She said “ are you going to stay for 3 hours “ in a rude way… it’s a cafe so yes I’m doing work. I felt so unwelcome and disgusted. Don’t call yourself a cafe when you don’t want customers to stay and enjoy your space.

P.S I’ve had friends who told me to avoid this place because the owner was rude but I still decided to give it a shot. Not going back again.

The crepes and drinks are delicious, unusual, and fun! Great place to meet a friend to chat, or to take care of business. Small, comfortable, and pleasant atmosphere. It can get noisy if there are kids, but that is to be expected.

It's a beautiful place with kind people serving the most delicious food. The dish I had was Fiesta and it really tastes good like heaven and I would probably go there again if I got a chance.

I’ve been coming to this café for many years, and while there are things I truly appreciate, my overall experience has gone downhill to the point where I won’t be returning. Please read until the end.

The setup is simple: you order at the counter, get a buzzer, then pick up your food and clean up after yourself. The ambience is lovely, always decorated for the season with cute benches, and the crêpes, coffees, and cappuccinos are delicious (though the crêpes get cold quickly).

Unfortunately, the service has been consistently unpleasant. Years ago, I ordered a decaf drink. When I double-checked with the staff, I was told—very rudely and loudly—that it wasn’t decaf and that I needed to pay an extra $0.85 if I wanted it remade. The small upcharge wasn’t the issue; it was the way the situation was handled, with zero accountability and unnecessary hostility.

Another time, when I placed an order using the number printed on their menu (exactly as they’ve set it up), I was scolded and told I should say the name of the item instead. Why even provide numbers if customers aren’t allowed to use them?

On another visit, I had a personal bottle of water with me after walking there. Instead of kindly reminding me of the policy, the woman behind the counter came to my table and loudly scolded me in front of everyone. More recently, my brother ordered an iced coffee but was given a hot one. When he tried to correct it, he was met with the same aggressive yelling I had experienced before.

Even my son wasn’t spared. He simply moved a chair so our family could sit together for what was a large (and expensive) order, and he was harshly reprimanded for “causing hazards.”

The common theme here is that the person running the counter—whether owner or manager—seems to lack basic courtesy and professionalism. While the food and drinks are genuinely good, the way customers are treated completely ruins the experience.

Sadly, no matter how tasty the crêpes are, I won’t be coming back.

I really love the atmosphere and all the decorations. Besides the crepes and drinks were perfect as well as the customer service. Love how peaceful it is to have my own space at this kinda lovely place.

Been going here for years!! I love this place. Delicious crepes and drinks. The employees are so kind and welcoming. They change the decor for every season, super cute. Perfect cafe to go to with a group or for a date.

Great atmosphere and cute decor! I got a matcha latte which was a little sweet and kind of expensive for me at a little over $8 but nonetheless I was happy to try out this place! I will definitely be going back to try out other menu items!
