Upon my initial inquiry, Suzi was very pleasant, responsive and accommodating (adjusting for our budget, preferences, etc.) The food was incredible and the service and staff were absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much“

The clientele, vibe and the service were exceptional. I don't drink anymore and the staff quickly pivoted to non alcohol options and even had booze-less Tequila. Will be back very soon“

Overall, fantastic experience. Was a little cool sitting near the window though.“

“Cute little place to I go for breakfast or brunch.....or just for a nice long chat with a friend over a delicious cuppa whatever coffee or warm drink you like. It seats around 20 and has table options. Some for that quiet chat, some to be on you own facing the side window and some on the community table if you want to share your space. Food was fresh and tasty. You order and pay at the order area, then go to your table where they will serve your food when it's ready. Parking is side street with a little walk or pay at the street parking meters. Would go there again with a friend to chat with a cappuccino in hand and baked good.“

“The pastas are really good and the sweet potato fries as well. The caramel apple mocktail was good but they didn’t have apples when I ordered it so that was sad. The bruschetta was yummy but the flatbread(?) part was weirdly stale. Also the water glasses are usually kind of dirty so we try to ask for straws. Good seating though and the staff are always nice. Sad that they’re not open on weekends!“

I face painted at an event on their patio (hired by someone else holding an event). I had the opportunity to spend several hours on site & chatted with her & her staff. They were all so nice and welcoming. 🙏🏼💜.
I’m not an experienced bar patron so I can’t give feedback from that perspective, but I can tell you that the people behind the scenes making it happen are solid & hardworking & that tells me a lot.
Thanks for your hospitality Joanne!“
