“My first time at BFC was about 2 years ago. I went in today and met the Owner Jennifer and her daughter Jackie. They both made me very welcome to their family restaurant. It truly was nice to see people that actually enjoy their job. It is a cozy restaurant with an old fashioned flare.I got the breakfast special 2 scrambled eggs,crispy bacon, and Texas toast. And a cup of coffee and then later a Chi to go. The food was all cooked fresh and nice and hot when Jackie served it to me along with my hot coffee.It was all absolutely delicious. The prices are very reasonable and the service was beyond great. Do yourself a favor and stop in sometime and support this local delicious family owned restaurant. And oh yeah a big bonus If you live within 5 miles of their restaurant they will actually deliver your food for FREE.“

Love that you can scan the qr code to order and can sit and work midday without feeling pressured to continue ordering or cash out etc.
Nice views out the front window, relaxing vibe inside.“

“OG Biscuit is Delicious!!“

“The coffee and service were great, but unfortunately the baked goods were not. My son and I each got a lemon poppyseed scone, and they had a strange taste. They didn't really taste like lemon at all, and I couldn't eat it. We took our order to go or I would have said something. I would go back for the coffee and atmosphere.“

“Tabletop is a great place to go if you like playing board games. They have a large and diverse selection of games, so you can never run out of new games to play. They have a unique menu of tasty food, along with a great selection of drinks and cocktails. Their servers are kind, attentive, and very helpful in finding the perfect game for you to play if you're not sure where to start. They have some awesome events like trivia, RPG nights, and game clinics. I highly recommend going to Tabletop!“

“We stopped in for lunch and it exceeded our expectations! We ordered a ham sandwich on focaccia bread with potato, broccoli and cheddar soup, and the Claudio sandwich with white bread. It was all spectacular! The story of how the shop started was also sweet to read inside the restaurant. We will definitely stop here again next time we are in the area.“

We just stopped in but I would highly recommend for studying or reading and I’d love to come back and try their lattes or teas:). The prices are also great and not crazy high!“

“I don’t write reviews often, but this place absolutely deserves it.

From the moment you walk in, you can tell this isn’t just another coffee shop—it’s part of the community. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the kind of place where you can settle in for a few minutes or a few hours and feel completely at home.

The coffee is consistently excellent—rich, smooth, and clearly made with care, winter, spring, summer and fall! Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup on the go or trying something new off the menu, you can taste the quality. And the owners? Genuinely some of the kindest people you’ll meet. They remember faces, take the time to chat, and make every visit feel personal.

What really stands out is how much heart goes into this place. Supporting a locally owned business like this feels good, especially when they put so much back into the customer experience.

If you’re anywhere nearby and haven’t stopped in yet, you’re missing out. This is the kind of spot that turns first-time visitors into regulars.“

“The toasted goat cheese sandwich sounded amazing, but it was even better than I thought it would be! Wow! I love how they serve it on multi-grain bread with a hint of pickles and fresh dill on the side. The lemon bar and iced coffee were decent, but the sandwich stole the show here. Quick service too.“

“Picture it Sicily 1936 lol....Nah seriously let me tell you about my favorite hideout. The sunny spot @ finn cafe is the place to be. There is a wraparound bar that has enough seating everyone. TVs are everywhere. You would never know it but there is a Cigar lounge tucked off behind some closed doors. It is beautiful. The atmosphere is friendly and kind of like that old TV show Cheers....sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name and glad you came. A mixed crowd of friendly people.of all ages. Now let's talk about food. Blessed Foods run the kitchen. ANNNNDDDD baby I cannot unbig my back because of Easter & Doonty. Now let's get to the service! Yall got to be entertained and greeted by the bartender Kelly. Oh she is an experience you will never forget. You can't help but love her. Music is flowing and it's a party. Different nights have different specials and activities. You may not come for a long time but it damn sure is a good time.“

“Very good food, owner was family friendly, good prices. I will be back!“

“Stopped by today,ham and cheese croissant that was great. Only problem was my dog was trying to intercept bites which created a dicey ,situation,but he got some and was quite happy.“

“The staff at the Koffie Cafe were so kind and helpful when my teenager got sick from biking in 88 degree. They offered napkins, water, and a cool place to recover. My other teenager loved the atmosphere and the drinks. Thanks for being a great community partner and for looking out for your neighbors. Can't wait to come back soon!“

“Safe to say Toastique is my new favorite spot! My husband and I had a staycation at Pinecrest so we decided to try this spot for the first time and wow! We loved it. The Spicy Crab Toast is sooo delicious. Everything is so fresh! I got an iced latte and it was one of the best lattes I’ve had in a while! We went twice in 2 days. Last but not least S/O to Armando! He is such a nice man. He made us feel so at home, gave us some nice recommendations and treated us with care. Try Toastique if you have not!“

“Love this place! Don't sleep on them, everything they have to offer you is delicious!“

“The price was different than what’s posted online so that needs to be updated but what I got was a quality cup of oatmeal To-go. The fruit was fresh and she made the oatmeal consistency perfectly, added milk with no extra charge so to me it was worth $10 with all of that fruit. I’m here for a short work trip and I’m not finding quality in this part of downtown so it’s likely that I will be back here again. I also had a cortado earlier and it was perfection. On top of that the service was nice, they were friendly and kind, just what you need when you’re away from home.On another occasion I got breakfast and it was beautiful and cooked perfectly. I love this place and the two ladies who run it, they’ve grown warmer and more personable the more I frequent their cafe, I love their hospitality and I’m grateful for it.“

“Book your party or event here“
