Everything. The best is the mood but the food, which is the same menu as the past 25 year is awesome. From pizza to amazing desserts and coffee . I went there in college. Got back 20 years later

OH HOW I LOVE THE CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD (no carb diet) I've had the breakfast , the omelette are amazing, the mimosas are DELISH! This is my go to spot! 4yrs ago w/my Hubbs for our 2nd date was here! =)

Clifton M

Good place all around. Good food - desserts and coffee for sure - but plenty other food items on the menu worth having. Great place for a date if you want to talk.

Monday is 'half price cake day', but seriously?? I get home with my piece of tollhouse cake (to go) after eating dinner with a friend only to find this (see pic). Take a bite before boxing much?

Denise L

Amazing nighttime vibe for intimate late nights , love that it offered a full menu with spirits in addition to coffee . Outdoor area is dreamy

Jason Bessey

Build your own omelette with a nice variety of ingredients. Mimosas are great and strong, but can’t get them before noon on Sundays (thanks Texas blue laws).

Colin Dismuke

The vanilla lattes are huge and come with great little sugar cookies . The French toast is amazing but so is most everything else on their menu. Enjoy!

Forenza is awesome and their Germany chocolate cake is Devine! !! Also their Italian cream cake is so rich and delicate. ..it's amazing

Have your cake & eat it too with huge slices for half-price on Mondays. Come during the week for happy hour (4-7) for $1 off beverages and a free appetizer .

Try the Daily Pasta Special - Shrimp , portobello mushrooms , and spinach over fettuccine in a tomato cream sauce

Awesome desserts , beware most of them are huge... a six inch tall piece of chocolate overload! Good coffee and stellar patio when it isn't overflowing.

Southern Gal

Save money on cake slices on Mon. where slices are 1/2 off. Don't see your fave cake on display, ask for it, it may be available. Rosemary vingarette is a must on salad .

The iced coffee is delicious, as is the mint limeade , which they middle with fresh mint for every order.
