Authentic Italian coffee, delicious fresh sandwiches, & a warm atmosphere. The espresso was excellent, & the Sicilian biscotti is a must-try, perfect with a coffee! Friendly staff, great service, & quality food. Highly recommend!

Sandwich & coffee with taxes & tips will bring you almost to 30$ but you'll be met with quality as to what an Italian espresso bar can offer.

Everything was perfect steak & chicken sandwich excellent. The only little minor issue is the menu, the prices on the menu & the price that is charged is about $3.00 more per item.

I like the place for the vibe & the service. The food & coffee not so much. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that they were happy to customize (+++ service) - it was okay - basic - could be improved by using better cheese - something less processed.
I ordered a cappuccino & was a bit disappointed- i couldn't taste the coffee - i think the milk to coffee ratio could be improved.

That said- I appreciated the speedy service & the good vibes this place has to offer.
