Very good service rubns was very helpful with choosing what I wanted to eat & has a very good selection of teas & organic products would definitely recommend to anyone
The sandwiches taste just like authentic Italian ones! We ordered the'Dolce Vita' & the'Big Night', & we already can't wait to return. The focaccia is homemade, & you don't get that heavy feeling you often do after eating out. On top of that, it was one of the best matcha lattes I've ever had. We also met the owner-she was incredibly warm & attentive with everyone. I highly recommend giving this place a try!
Nice cozy cafe. We went for a Cortado & a Cappuccino along with Torta al Limone & a Torta Caprese. Loved them all, especially Torta Caprese & Cortado.
We couldn't try the savoury items as they start that around 11 & we came in a bit early.
The staff were nice & friendly. Plenty of seating space inside.
Plenty of parking outside as it's a shared parking space with other businesses in the plaza.
Definitely recommended.
A fantastic restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere, friendly owners, a great selection of drinks, & of course amazing & delicious food!
I've been here many times & I absolutely love their homemade focaccia (so far the best I've ever had). Every time I visit, I try a new combination of dishes. Most recently, I tried the Sgt. Pepper Sandwich with a side of potatoes, a Mellow Yellow Smoothie, a Bitter Sweet Beet Salad & a slice of Queijada for dessert. All of which were delicious.
Overall, I'd have to say my fav sandwiches so far are the Big Sur & Carne Loca focaccia sandwiches.
If you are haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend going to Aloe Cafe.
This establishment is truly amazing, & the staff is wonderful. The food & drinks are exceptionally fresh & pure. Everything was so delicious that I did not have the opportunity to take a photograph. This place is highly recommended.

The focaccia was super tasty, the salad absolutely amazing, & the service was kind & welcoming. A lovely spot for a fresh, flavorful bite - highly recommend!
The food here is absolutely incredible. Worth coming here & try their sandwiches with a nice tasty cappuccino. Highly recommend especially if you love Italian sandwiches.
Fresh & delicious food, warm & welcoming staff, good tunes & delicious coffee. Definitely recommended, their focaccia alone is reason enough to visit. The owners were patient & extremely helpful with my girlfriend who has some dietary restrictions, they made something custom that she could eat that tasted exceptional.
