When we entered this cafe, we didn't think that it will be a nice experience but quickly girl welcomed us & made a table available for 2.

Once we settled in, we noticed how many little cute items put around everywhere, & it gave us cute, warm & hommy vibe.

Food was amazing. We were vegetarian..so, we went with Vegan items. They were delicious.

Beau petit café ( emphase sur petit ) à découvrir sur Duluth. Nous avons reçu un excellent service. J'ai pris le déjeuner portugais & le jus Kung Fu.

Très bon, mais le sandwich n'est pas très gros, alors un peu cher pour la quantité.

A tiny, eclectic cafe with a great vintage vibe. Good service - very happy with how flexible & quick our server was. The food was very good although the common consensus was that it was lacking in seasoning. Their single bathroom could also use a serious clean & tidy up. Definitely worth a try though!

Nourriture absolument délicieuse & savoureuse. L’option végane que j’ai pu manger était un délice pour les papilles. Les autres personnes qui m’accompagnaient ont également adoré leurs plats. Une belle adresse victime de son succès. Le service a été rapide & très agréable. On reviendra !

I stopped for brunch, & I was glad I did.
I had the sandwich with chorizo & cheddar, with additional potatoes & salad. It was very tastey.
The staff were super nice as well & I would definitely come back.
