A must stop while in the old district! Great coffee, pastries & sandwiches! We felt like we were somewhere in Europe on while dining on the patio. Thanks so much!

A chain cafe, with both the good & bad that entails.
The decor & atmosphere is nice. The space is large.

Drinks & the pecan tarte were ok. I would have chose something else, so maybe I missed their specialty.

The dessert is good, & the coffee is not bad (i ordered an espresso). The place itself is nice, especially because it's located in the heart of the city. I would recommend it for its location & nice atmosphere rather than for the coffee itself.

Good food & coffee. Perfect breakfast spot. My only comment would be, you should have someone cleaning the tables especially during peak times as people come & go & it's not very pleasant to be sitting on dirty table or looking for someone who can clean it for you.
