We love getting food here. We have never had a disappointing dish. Every item is thoughtfully made and delicious. My kids are big fans of the seasonal pancakes.

Delicious coffee and brunch items. Seating is on your own (not guaranteed) but it's totally worth waiting for one to open up as you wait for your order.
There are lots of vegetarian friendly options and well balanced dishes. The tomato bisque was amazing.

Ancora Cafe and Bakery serves up some bold coffee with tasty local pastries. This location is far enough on University Avenue that requires a drive. We found a delightful table upstairs, which is a bit louder than downstairs due to the lower ceiling. The bottomless cup is the way to go if needing to chill and sample all their drip coffees. Their self pour creamer and water stations were well stocked. Recommend Ancora Cafe and Bakery's red velvet donut and blueberry scone.

Get it to go. The food and coffee is not worth the horrific atmosphere. Tables are crammed together and the space is echoey and cold

Order at the counter and find a seat culvers style. Went at 10 am on a Sunday (90 minute wait). Food was tasty

Really good food, I enjoyed the eggs benedict a lot, the basic bec is great. The service here is mostly good, but sometimes it can get a little hectic for me being sensitive to sounds and energies. By energies I mean the banging they sometimes do in my direction when they are preparing coffee, I can't really tell what's happening in that regard.
It is a rather good business. It's clean and the cashieresses are very polite for the most part. Some of the menu items are very heavy, like the mexican burrito type thing. It has a great design, you can do work on the second floor, or just chill and try not to die inside from the distracting sounds on the first floor.
I would say this is a quality cafe especially on the way to downtown, and it's popular for a reason.
