Instantly charmed. This is a small, well-cared for cafe with very good staff. The place was nearly full when I decided to try them for the first time, but the lovely woman at the counter was calm and collected. She listened attentively, and offered the kind of experiened-interaction I always hope for. I found them on a search for breakfast sandwiches, and God bless them for making those throughout the day. I tried their Gingerbread latte, and found it too syrupy and sweet for my liking, and the gal offered to fix it for me. The sandwich was exactly what I had been hoping for, something a little better than homemade. Far above the sad attempts at Starbucks. For $10 I got a very sizable egg and ham sandwich on a croissant, with what Starbucks would call a generous grande and an adorable pastry called a Lemon puff. Id say very worth it for the price. Cheaper and better than Starbucks. The only downside was that the small dining room was very noisy and they have wire bistro chairs. I will definitely go again!

Name says espresso, but the staff did not know how to make a plain double espresso. First, they burned the coffee because the machine is not set correctly. Then they figured that double espresso meant you poured the espresso into a big cup and added water. Their second go round or attempt did not yield a much better result as they ran the steam through the machine until they filled up a regular coffee mug.

A great place to have a quiet lunch! It has a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere with good food. I really like the chefs salad with house dressing. Their service can be somewhat variable, with confusion over your order happening occasionally. This has not happened to me recently, however.

The weekly Chicken Pot Pie special is very delicious and quite unique! A delicious vegetable chicken filling layered over a fresh baked croissant! I paired it with the fresh made tomato basil soup. Very reasonably priced. A comfortable, homey atmosphere.

I ordered a half sandwich (but it was plenty for me) and an almond biscotti; ingredients were very fresh. Ill most likely be back to try some beverages and their garden lasagna (Im vegetarian). I really like the look of this place!

Order takeout once in a great while for lunch..seems odd that they charge just over $9 for a sandwich and salad vs the same thing if not more food from Kneaders $7+tax...love the food though. Just wish it was reasonable on prices

I had an Americano and popover. Both were pretty good but nothing to write home about. The location itself is nice and cozy and theres an adjacent shop that we didnt get a chance to visit this time.

Coffee was ok, atmosphere was a little ... oppressive is the only way I can describe it. I felt like just sitting down quietly drinking my coffee and reading news I was an intruder.
