I went here with my boyfriend not too long ago, he got the Croque Madam and I got the tomato soup. We love the food here so much, 100% worth the price! They even sell jars of tomato soup that you can reheat at home. I love the atmosphere and the staff here were very friendly!
July 2025
Used to love how unique and original this place was! The food was alright, but the atmosphere made it 100% worth it. They recently renovated and it feels like a McDonald’s. It’s so boring inside, they took out all the character to make it look like every other corporate restaurant. Food isn’t good enough to really go back now 🤷🏽♀️
