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.

Best sandwiches & salads! I've tried several items off the menu & everything is delicious. Love the music & great coffee too! Great option if you are looking for something healthy.
Just had a great lunch feasting on focaccia style sandwiches… a very generous sandwich with lots of flavour & crunch . I also enjoyed a fresh & tasty beet salad … the chocolate cake was a perfect balance of sweetness & chocolate delight . & yes the coffee was great too !!
Absolutely delicious sandwiches! The rosemary foccacia they served it on was sooo tasty! Very fresh ingredients, friendly service & very cute decor. Looking forward to going back!
The sandwiches here are so fresh & delicious! I have never been one to eat sandwiches, even as a child I never took a single sandwich to school but I went here with some other people & decided to try one & wow! Now my mission is to try them all. The place is also super clean & the atmosphere is cozy. Sometimes it is empty, sometimes it is packed & you'll have to wait a bit, nothing too crazy though.

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.
Sandwiches were delicious! Especially if you have their homemade focaccia 👌 Excellent service from Rubens & Catherine. Even made us taste test their maple water that they use to make our smoothie. Wife & I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!
Very tasty sandwiches & delicious sourdough bread & focaccia. Their potatoes are also to die for! If you are looking for the comfort of a homemade meal, this is the place to go.
Not only is the food great, the owners are also very welcoming. Very excited to try more items off their menu!
