Reviews
"This place is great. We stayed in town for 4 days and came here 4 times if that says anything. It was a delightful breakfast each time. The food was great and you couldn’t beat the price. They sell a lot of produce and other food items as well, which some can be quite pricey, but they are high quality. We bought some cheese and it was absolutely amazing. There is a really cute thrift store in the back. Just a few clothing items but fun to look at while you’re waiting on your food. Very dog friendly. They let us bring them inside and we loved that. I get it’s not some peoples vibe but eh, you’ll get over it. It’s great - keep loving dogs. Highly recommend and don’t neglect all of their cheeses!!"
"Looong overdue review, but needless to say our lil vegan tummy was very happy. Super fresh and our panini was so delicious! We ended up buying some bread and other goodies before heading back into the city. Definitely worth the trip."
"Things were a little slow-going when I first arrived because there were only two woman working the kitchen and the till. That being said, it was well worth the wait. Yes, the price point is astronomical, I can't deny that, but the flavorful food and the charming staff justify the price. I absolutely will be a repeat customer when I'm in the area again!"
"Quaint place. Food was good but took a half hour for an egg sandwich. Cook was new and not good. Bad food safety habits. She was eating while cooking our food. Witnessed her drop food on the floor and use. Grabbed salad with bare hands that she was eating with. Woman taking our orders with pony tail was very friendly and if it wasn't for her we would have left. She was pleasant and accommodating. The other woman kept arguing with her in front of customers. Very rude. Shop had produce, processed foods, coffee, cheeses. Also sold clothes in the back. Very disorganized place. No focus. It has tables inside and outside. They allowed pets inside, again unsanitary for food establishment."
"Delightful surprise. Low key cafe w yummy Mediterranean eats. Small details like warm toasted bread drizzled in olive oil. Prepared food to go and made to order take time but made w love."
