I went here while killing time this afternoon. I just got an iced coffee-I wished I had more time to spare, everything looked great and I would have loved to try more on the menu! The coffee was so good, the staff was so nice and the clientele was too. I didn’t realize it was cash only, and someone in the cafe ended up paying for my drink. I’m not normally in this neighborhood, so I’m glad I found it when I was. I hope to come back soon!

  • Aleksa Egan

I used to like to come here but the new waitress is rude. I’ve always been nice to her and always get attitude in return. I asked if I can please have a coffee when she gets a chance after waiting an hour for her to come to my table. She said “sure” and I waited another 45 min realizing that she either forgot about me or didn’t want to serve me. I always tip so it’s confusing. I wish the cafe well anyways but I will not be returning .

I came here to order my first Turkish coffee and the waitress explained how it was made, what grounds they used, and most importantly not to drink the bottom! :) The coffee itself was good, but I don't have much else to compare to. The staff are friendly and the place has a nice ambiance. As of now it's cash only but if you forget (like I did) you can go across the street to an atm machine to pull some out.

Such a cute cafe! The interior is cozy and very clean and nicely decorated. Each coffee is hand-crafted to order with care and precision. It is cash only, so keep that in mind. Don’t pass by without stopping in for an espresso! More

  • scott fletcher

Awesome service and cool place. It has a nice back patio - the only negative every table has the option to smoke, and most of the patrons do so. The ceiling fans in the back might help, but they were not on when I was there.

  • Nick Bruscato

Nice family owned Cafe! Great vibes and is truly one of a few authentic euro style cafes in the city. Open early which is nice. Staff is friendly and coffee is solid.

Great drinks made with Italian espresso. The patio is huge. During the winter there is a fireplace turned on inside. The clientelle is European, and so is the staff. Homemade pastries availabale daily.
