Food itself is great however they really start closing their kitchen over 30 minutes before their stated time. Rushed to get here before 430 and specifically to order a Shakshouka but they had already started closing their kitchen already even though they’re supposed to be opened until 5. Was very disappointed and had to order something else instead. Had I known they actually close before 430 I would have gone elsewhere. Feel very duped.

This is a charming cafe with homely decor, perfect for a quiet and pleasant brunch. The shakshouka was flavorful and satisfying, and the tomato & feta sandwich (with added cucumber and greens) was good, though a bit messy to eat and slightly dry—perhaps true to its style. The Turkish latte was a lovely touch. Overall, a calm and cozy spot to enjoy a leisurely meal.

Vegetarian options: Limited but good vegetarian options

Had brunch with the family, and food was great and fresh as usual. We enjoyed the bourek and acma and took some home as well. Staff was super friendly and helpful! Thanks guys for the fabulous experience!
