Warm atmosphere & always busy for a reason! The crepes are incredible, the house-made hot sauce adds the perfect kick, & the drinks are excellent. Don't leave without getting a pastel de nata, they are genuinely some of the best in Little Portugal!

Be aware that if you don't make a reservation the mornings get busy. We had to wait approximately 45min. The food is okay, it wasn't my favorite. I thought the chicken was a bit a dry & that overall it lacked in taste. The potatoes are Portuguese style. I wouldn't recommend tje sandwiches, I found the bread dry. The service however is great.
