The avocado toasts (with a choice of salmon ) and mint lemonade is a tasty lunch option. Hazelnut flute is very tasty too good for a small snack !

alison

Amazing service throughout the day.I go every day but in different timings. Never had a bad experience . New menu is completely a new year's resolution as Ayesha (manager) mentioned to me.

Chantae Vetrice

Their special today was three bean chili (vegan ) soup and it was YUMMY! A bit on the spicy side, if your taste buds can handle it, but definitely a winner!

Carine Spira

This Belgian chain of bakery prides itself in simple and good food. Good breakfasts and salads . No surprise as it’s the same menu all around the world

THE perfect spot for a light brunch . Ask for grilled chicken with mozzarella di bufala . Delicious! $25 for 2. Have free wi-fi.

Simon Kratzer

Small portions, but nicely decorated and good quality.

Remiel

Come up with a fun new way of pronouncing it on each visit. Then come up with a fun new way of ignoring people who haughtily inform you of the correct pronunciation.

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Solid simple menu of sandwiches , decent drinks, lemonade and ice tea always good, atmosphere little too loud

Michael Lettera

Barb McDonald

Try the white bean soup , tons of veggies and the base is amazing. Not too heavy so year-round tasty bowl of comfort. If you order the Fig and Ricotta and Honey Tartine tell them to hold the tomatoes

Try the Steal Cut Oatmeal With Maple Syrup , Pecans & Bananas - petit déjeuner deux

Katherine Mullis

Looking for a nice place to sit and order coffee ? LOOK FURTHER. You can't just order coffee and sit, even if the place is empty. Why? I don't know. This is over-priced, pretentious bullshit. I

Juliana Amorim

Claire Joseph

Being Fatty

Apricot crumble. Mediterranean platter .

suneel

quinoa tabouli

Paul Dennis

It's simple, but the Belgian hot chocolate makes you sigh....

Niki Alexander

They've slaked off on service lately.

Phil G

Beware: the waitstaff is a total crapshoot and you will likely need to order items multiple times and then need to remind again. Food is good, but not worth the headache.

Malt & Barley Chronicles

No gluten-free breads and no longer offers any wifi (free or paid) -- disappointing. But the seaweed salad is excellent.

Meryl Pearlstein

Sit at the communal table and make new friends.

Daniella Zalcman

Gazpacho is wonderful for light lunch .
