A very cute spot with excellent service! The patio was an excellent place to sit for a spell. Loved the cherry sorbet, delighted by the vibe of the place. Happening, hot, and happy! It’s a cafe (coffee, homemade chocolate and baked goods) with very yummy sandwiches and ice cream. Cherry swirl was magical. Good music too. Got some cute photos today.

This place knows what’s up as they have an ALL DAY Breakfast Sandwich. Yes the ’s are a must try especially if you them. Be sure to request sauce on the side or none if that’s not your jam. Everything is made in house and loved sitting outside and could easily take the sandwich to go to the beaches nearby. The soft serve ice cream machine didn’t stop while I was there so it is a must stop off that’s your jam.

We were on a micro vacation and saw this place. It was so intriguing that we turned our car around to get a better look. Make sure you stop here. That's my best advice. The fact that this place can make a vegan croissant as good as they do is amazing. I hope to get a carnivore version someday to feel the real deal. There is a super cool vibe in there, the building has some neat history and the service is amazing.

What a gem of a place truly. We happened to stop by while travelling through the area and so happy we did. We had the porchetta sandwich, a couple of their homemade cookies, an espresso and a latte. Everything was absolutely delicious. We were very happy to see their La Marzocco coffee machine. Worth a stop!

We make the effort to drop in here every time we are in the area. The sandwiches (especially the Porchetta) are great, and the croissants are absolutely amazing. We purchased a box of croissants to bring home then proceeded to shamelessly rip apart and devour them on the ride home... all that was left was the faint sweet scent of butter in the air and flaky crumbs on the upholstery. Do I have a self-control problem with these croissants? Perhaps, yes. Do I care? Absolutely not! Will I be back for more? Definitely, yes!

Omg how awesome of a find was this place?! A must go to if you’re in the area. Delicious lunch. Buffalo milk cheese, to-die-for homemade croissants and ice cream, old fashioned milkshakes (I’m not one for milkshakes but I’m so glad I opted for this as my splurge treat!) It’s kind of like stepping back in time. Loved it!

Just a note to other travellers it seems to close at 4pm on Thurs as well, not 5pm. We just missed it but I'm sure it's lovely!
