Great place to meet friends for a fresh cup of coffee and lunch. Extensive sandwich menu as well as breakfast selections.

On a recent visit on the early side of the lunch rush (11:30ish), an otherwise perfectly friendly and helpful member of staff had to inform me that they had "run out" of the bread that one of their signature sandwiches came with. Surprising, I thought,...More

A beautiful cozy and historic cafe with a vast menu and a barista with perfect sills such that the milk is heated exactly to release those natural sugars in my dry cap.
