The only place in C-U area where you can get balkan specials (e.g. burek). I also recommend their delicious pastry and bread , but they still need to learn how to make world-famous Turkish coffee :)

Crepes are pretty good. Staff is helpful when it came to making recommendations for dessert ! Mouth watering desserts FYI!

Good coffee and great bread ! Paisano and country style multigrain breads .

Their omelets are fantastic! Try the Spinach & Feta : so simple, well-priced, and they really load it chunks of feta .

Everything!! Especially if Lexi is working!!

The salmon crepe is outstanding, as is the veggie crepe with avocado . Pretty cheap and a good atmosphere especially in the summer time when you can eat and read outside.

Charles Koch

Excellent lunch spot , try the chicken Cesar with a ginger ale . The back patio is relaxing.

Gene Palmer

Great pastry . They serve Lavazza coffee , but it's hit and miss depending on who makes it.

Brian Murphy

Great lunch spot -- 1/2 soup and sandwich is great
