Lovely place to grab coffee. Their triple chocolate signature cookies are not to be missed. They close at 5pm so plan accordingly if you want to visit. They also have outdoor seating

Nous avons prit un sandwich au canard & une salade. C'était quand même très bon mais les portions ne sont pas très généreuse pour le prix. Cependant l'ambiance & le service était exceptionnel.

I got the fig & duck sandwich. As someone who loves both, I was very excited. The portions were underwhelming, but I figured the taste would make up for it. It didn't. I could barely taste the fig on the rare occasions I did at all. The duck wasn't bad, but I've had better. It's worth maybe $14 at absolute most, not the $21 it's listed as. Their menu looks delicious, but now I'm hesitant to try anything else because of how disappointing their most famous dish was. I'm not going to say to avoid it completely, but temper your expectations before you order this sandwich. The dishes of everyone around me looked bigger & smelled better from even two tables over. It was a really nice atmosphere & the service was extremely fast & friendly. I wish I could give it 5 stars, I really do, but I just can't

food was ok but service wasn't great, some people were nice while others were downright rude. If it were busy I would get it but it was Wednesday morning around 10am. There are so many nice cafes downtown, probably not worth coming back. Train your staff better.

Les plats & sandwhich sont delicieux, autant que les natas & le café
Service personalisé, toujours un grand plaisir de voir le gérant Jorge, ainsi que ses employés souriants
