Many visitors praise the delicious menu items, particularly the breakfast plates, flavorful crepes, homemade sauces, and exceptional pastel de nata, often highlighting the friendly and welcoming nature of the staff. While the restaurant is frequently busy and guests should expect to wait for a table, most reviewers find the experience well worth the effort.

My wife & I ate here on Thursday around 2ish or 3ish... Had the place to ourselves. The owner & staff are super nice respectful. They speak both English & French. We will definitely be going back to try more of there food. The place is family owned & operated. It could get tight if it's full. Regardless I recommend it to anyone looking for good vibes & fantastic food & service!

EXPENSIVE! For not much.
Got 2 sandwich/soup combos & hot chocolates & it was $80!!! & for that insane price, there was barely any meat or other filling in the sandwich, it was 90% bread.

Nothing fancy. Decent restaurant. Heavily understaffed. If you have lots of free time, & you aren't much hungry, then you might want to consider visiting this place.

Could someone please tell the server from Sunday evening that she should just pick one: sitting at a table & scrolling through TikTok on her iPad *with the volume on* OR being unhelpful & hostile to the customers? It's only because she chose to do both that I'm bothering to leave a review.
