GREAT FOOD! Beautiful, intimate setting, run by a family whose members remember us and make us feel so welcome. Service is personal but not rushed and special requests are easily fulfilled. Menu is very diverse and the dishes are often unique. Makes very meal a delight.

I like The Mangrove Cafe for a leisurely lunch or dinner. Can have breakfast there, too. See website for days & hours.

Amazing food, amazing cheesecake! And such a cute place and beautiful garden in the back. The owners are great and really know how to cook, and we really enjoyed chatting with Jerry. The owners are retiring in a few months so you should try and come soon!!

The food was fresh and tasted very good and healthy for you. Sad to hear that they will be closing in the fall after 10 years so they can retire but hopefully someone new will pick it up and carry on the good food. We just had lunch but plan on making a date night and come for dinner before they close.

Not to be missed! This is a rare gem-- and a limited opportunity, to boot. Not only do they have special hours, but they will be retiring, come September (as of the writing of this review)! They have some amazing classic Thai dishes, a wide array of desert and coffee options, boba tea, Italian sodas-- and the sweetest couple you could ever know! They are so kind and personable, we found it difficult to leave! You have to meet them before they pack it in for good. The restaurant is a converted cottage home that is so quaint and cool. It has a cozy, yet contemporary feel. And there are authentic elephant paintings! It was such an awesome experience.

The fresh roll was unique, but tasty, and the Thom Ka was bright and fresh, but still very aromatic. We both had phad Thai as our main dish, and the flavor was perfect! Not too sweet or tangy. The shrimp was of impressively impeccable quality (something I am quite picky about)! And we had a basque cheesecake worth fighting over as desert! Followed by a lovely bit of departing conversation with the owners. I absolutely cannot wait to go back! I definitely recommend.

Forgot to take pictures because we were so indulgent in our food, 10/10 recommend, delicious and ridiculously fresh. Best crepe I’ve ever had breakfast wise! Don’t skip out on this place!

This is a truly amazing place. A husband-and-wife team runs it. The conversation is as good as the food. It's a true hidden gem, and I'm glad I found it.

A hidden gem! Make sure you get there for lunch during the week or plan on reservations for dinner. The Dutch baby with pear and cheese was astounding! Absolutely so delicious. We did order the pad see ew as well. It was extremely fresh and tasted really good; next time I would ask them to leave out the cilantro because I don't think it fits. Everything was awesome though.
