September 4, 2025 at 3:04 pmTwo of us ordered same, one was large and the other nearly half, can’t figure that, food over priced and not value, very small servings. I am a regular cafe user and your cafe is certainly not on my top 10

September 2, 2025 at 12:06 pmGreat food! Very nice breakfast unfortunately not good coffee. The coffee was very sour and bitter, the servers were accommodating to make a new coffee, however did not have a good attitude to solve the issue. I wouldn’t recommend this place for getting your coffee hit.
