Great food, coffee & service!! Just wish they had more on tap than West Shelford. They should team up with cinqasept for some good local microbrews

Brunch with friends. Loved it. The shakshouka wasn't exactly authentic but it was tasty enough. Needed more feta. Good coffee, good vibes.

Nice terrasse in summer, & warm atmosphere inside. Great for grabbing a bite or for a few drinks. Beers are okay, but they only serve microbrew from what I remember.

Très bon petit brunch. Bonnes portions, endroit chaleureux (mais un peu bruyant avec la musique, elle mériterait d'être baissée un peu ou de pas y en avoir du tout), menu avec du choix & surtout un bon rapport qualité prix : environ 60 $ tout compris pour 2 avec café & bonnes assiettes.
