I come by occasionally. Good coffee, good food options, good whole wheat croissants, tasty cookies. I'm glad this spot exists!

This place is really excellent and has become a go to place especially for coffee and breakfast foods. I've had several dishes and all have been good. Many more remain for me to try. Today was a Jerusalem bagel with eggs and veggies and cheeses. Super good fresh and tasty. Mouth comes alive with all of the flavors. Also try their bureka pastries. Unusual and delish. Friendly service that is attentive and welcoming. If you go on an off hour you will get a seat and the vibes are great. But at peak times it is a zoo and the place is really quite small. It's a gem. Check it out.

This place is super quaint inside. Came for breakfast w a friend on Sunday around 11am. You order at the counter and then seat yourself. We were able to snag a seat right away but when we left at noon there was a line. The food was hot and came out quick. I had the mushroom quiche and even tho a bit crumbly, it was perfect and I wanted to stuff it in my face but …manners.Thanks for having us!

Lovely cafe/bistro with plenty of seating. It's so nice to have European style cafes (i.e., serving coffee, food and alcohol and open in the evening) where people could meet to catch up or just simply read a book or work. The oat milk latte was good.The menu looks interesting with good vegetarian options and I definitely will be back to try the food.

I just moved to the neighborhood, I heard great things about this place. Unfortunately, I did not get a welcoming positive vibe. I walked in and no hello how are you? The man at the front said no dogs here, I have a service dog and showed his id, ordered my food and then apparently your dog can’t be on your lap and it was so crowded I would never just leave him on the floor, to possibly get stepped on ( he is very small) He was not doing anything to anyone, I would understand telling me take him off my lap if he was, but he was still and quiet, actually sleeping. This was really upsetting, I don’t recommend this place at all, having a positive energy is so important when it comes to small businesses. It’s important that everyone who comes in feels welcomed and this place does not do that.

Mushroom bureka is phenomenal. Shakshuka is also tasty. Sabich sandwich.Cuidado con la salsa verde, es picante!On-site personnel are all professional, kind, and meet you with a smile.Kid-friendliness: It is a tight area and so it is not for everyone…Well-behaved children, accompanied by parents and/or nannies is necessary.

What a wonderful gem, I'm already planning my return visit! I had a seasonal ginger oat chai latte that was truly out of this world. The serving was generous, and I didn't feel robbed (ahem ⭐️$ up the street). I was all set to get a to-go yogurt, and since I was dining in, they informed me I could get a fresh yogurt in a bowl. My only regret was not noticing the food menu RIGHT NEXT TO ME until after I placed my order. I can't wait to return and try the shakshuka.I also loved that there was a lot of seating, and a shelf with books, so you could sit and enjoy the coffee while reading.

Been here a couple times and it’s always been fine.Today, I went to get some work done and enjoy a pastry and coffee. After less than an hour, I was asked to move or leave to make room for others eating. Clearly there were certain VIPs that will get a seat at the expense of others.

I really enjoyed the cafe. Good quality coffee and teas and amazing pastries. The chocolate chip muffin was very tasty and it’s cozy there with good service and staff. Highly recommend.
