Badly roasted coffee or careless brewing? Brackish bitter flavored espresso . They serve it with lemon peel. Little do they know why.

Scott VandeKerkhoff

Their omelettes are excellent, especially with goat cheese , and the coffee is delicious. Seats outside are well shaded and are comfortable even on hot days.

Great Sunday brunch . French toast & Salmon Sandwich are must haves.

They serve one of my regular cravings here: a waffle topped with fresh fruit & Greek yogurt . Scrumptious!

The owner ruins everything. $5 minimum for everyone, even if the place is empty and you want to split a slice of cake ; cash only ; two people can't ever sit at a four-top. Spend your money elsewhere.

Grumpy owner with whom we had to insist 5 minutes to have the right to share the bill between attendees .. and cash only ... Aren't we the customers ? Overall cold ambiance. Not worth the detour.
