It's a good place with half decent selection. The smoothie machine was broken though, so... no smoothies, I guess.

I don't think this place is super cute.
It's a great location.
The service was great, but I feel like if you are going for a nice , cute, chique environment, this isn't the place.
Perhaps we ordered the wrong item (pecan pie) because it was actually disgusting. But there are probably other yummy things to try.

The service is excellent; the staff are very kind & attentive.

They are also pet-friendly. Pets are welcome on the patio, & if they are calm & well-behaved, they are allowed inside as well. They even gave our dog some treats, which was a very thoughtful touch.

The food is delicious. We especially recommend the quiche au jambon & bacon & the torsade choco- franboise. Honestly, everything is worth trying!

The food is fresh, & you can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite.

Le service est excellent; le personnel est très gentil & attentionné.

L'établissement est également pet friendly. Les animaux sont les bienvenus sur la terrasse &, s'ils sont calmes, ils peuvent aussi entrer & rester avec vous à l'intérieur. Ils ont même offert des gâteries à notre chien, une attention très appréciée.

La nourriture est délicieuse. Nous recommandons particulièrement la quiche au jambon & bacon ainsi que la torsade choco-framboise. Honnêtement, tout mérite d'être goûté !
