Delicious quiche and good coffee. A wide variety of delicious looking baked goods
Really yummy French-inspired treats. And also delicious sandwiches and quiche at lunchtime. Not for those on a diet! No salad options. Great for catching up with friends over a coffee or tea with a treat or grabbing a sandwich at lunch. Some tables outside.

Outstanding Cupcake!
We had vanilla buttercream frosted cupcakes. The cake was dense and moist, the frosting probably the best buttercream frosting I’ve ever tasted.

We were so happy we found this gem. The pasties and cookies were simply delicious! The service was provided by a sweet and professional team member. A bit far from our typical stomping grounds but we will be sure to go back!

First of all I want to mention that the service is always excellent ? but the food was not so good as looking. Had coffee there a couple of times- so/so, would not come specially. My Obgyn is in the same building, this is the reason I am stopping by sometimes. Yesterday I tried their breakfast, but would not going to take it again- overpriced for this kind of sandwich.

Ive been going here multiple times a week for over a year. They have the best iced coffee, lemon cake, cookies & cinnamon rolls. They have other things too I just haven’t branched out. The staff is very friendly. Clean little café you can grab & go or sit & people watch.

Not a large space so don't plan on spending all day there, BUT the staff and folks are super friendly and helpful. Definitely get that local mom and pop vibe.As for the food, I had a vanilla chai latte with almond milk, the lemon bar, the everything bagel, and the apple galette. The latte was solid. The lemon bar was SUPERB. The owner noted that it's not for everyone since it's not as sweet as other lemon bars. Let me tell you - this is the level of sweetness that it should be at. It was the perfect amount of sweet, tart, and a microdose of bitterness. Great combination and highly recommended for folks who enjoy a REAL lemon tasting lemon bar. The apple galette was tasty as well - the only thing I regret is not asking to have it toasted.The bagel was probably one of the best in the area (although technically they're "imported" from Long Island). Despite going against the owner's instructions (she had my best interests in mind and I could see her wince when I mentioned that I was going to have it the next day), the bagel turned out great the next morning. I kept it in a sealed ziploc overnight so it didn't dry out too much and popped it into the air fryer/toaster in the AM for a light toast. All I did was add some cream cheese and my first bite brought memories of the tristate back all over again. One thing to note is that it's not crazy heavy on the 'Everything' which means that the flavors are there, but the salt is not. This is a good thing if you plan on using salted butter or plan on adding other things like lox - or if you're trying to cut down on salts :)Overall, a fantastic experience. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick bagel fix. I'll have to try their pastrami or their hot dog next time. The aromas of those while I was there made my mouth water.To the owners - THANK YOU for letting me hang out there and it was a pleasure meeting you!

Sandwich was delicious. Service was terrible and to top it off I asked her to slice my sandwich at the end and she said “I don’t have a knife at the moment”. She had use a knife a second ago to slice the avocado. Plus what food place does not have a knife!!!
Hire better people. If you don’t like service don’t work in the service industry.
I hate leaving negative reviews specially for a small business. I hope you take this as constructive criticism.
