We stayed at an AirBnB down the street & found this fantastic cafe! We ended up eating there 3 days in a row. I was traveling with my mom & my 2 kids (aged 13 & 10). All of us were big fans of different things! The service was wonderful! The owner is there from time to time but all of his staff are beyond welcoming. The atmosphere is perfect with open windows & exposed brick walls & stained glass- it's cozy. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or just looking for a hidden gem in their city.

A small menu because they focus on a few things & turn out quality.

Perhaps it was an off day, but we dropped by for breakfast on a nice weekday. We ordered a croissant & "brunch entree" (frittata of the day, potatoes, toast, ham with jam). Wow, incredibly disappointing. The frittata was very spongey as if it was made very early & microwaved. Breakfast potatoes were unseasoned: no salt nor ketchup came with them. The only saving grace was perhaps their housemade strawberry jam, which I enjoyed with the toast. There was also a small piece of hair in the water. Again, perhaps they were just having a bad day, but we probably should have passed over it considering it was peak breakfast hours, & it was completely empty in house. Oooof.

Great experience. A little hard to find but perfect low key local experience if u find it. I was actually looking for a croque madame (i missed my breakfast egg), but that's apparently a lunch item, so I just jumped at a lobster 🦞 roll & a draught local amber. Both were spot on. I sat outside but u can sit inside in the window. place is small. service attentive. food & drink top notch! Creative delicious roll. yummy amber thx folks
