Absolute local gem! The food was absolutely delicious-fresh, full of flavor, & served piping hot. On top of that, the staff was amazingly welcoming & provided top-notch service throughout our visit. It's got that warm, classic local spot vibe that makes you want to sit back & stay a while. Definitely will be back soon!

When you arrive at this place, the first thing you notice is a few tables on the sidewalk in front of a lovely green-painted café with beautiful windows.

As soon as you enter, you face a display full of pastries & sweets. The high ceiling, fans, & old-fashioned chairs give the place a charming atmosphere.

The food menu is quite simple, with a few salads & sandwiches. We decided to try the sandwiches, although at first I wasn't sure if one would be enough. We ordered two sandwiches to take away. The ingredients are already prepared & kept warm, so the sandwiches are ready quite quickly.

The sandwich was really good, & to be honest, I felt completely full after eating just one! The staff were friendly, & overall, I would say you won't regret giving this place a try.

I haven't tried their coffee yet, but that's definitely for next time. I'll update my review when I do!

Quand on arrive à cet endroit, la première chose qu'on remarque, ce sont quelques tables installées sur le trottoir devant un joli café peint en vert, avec de belles fenêtres.

Dès qu'on entre, on se retrouve devant une vitrine remplie de pâtisseries & de desserts. Le haut plafond, les ventilateurs & les chaises à l'ancienne donnent beaucoup de charme à l'endroit.

Le menu est assez simple, avec quelques salades & sandwichs. Nous avons décidé de goûter les sandwichs, même si au début, je n'étais pas sûr qu'un seul serait suffisant. Nous en avons donc commandé deux à emporter. Les ingrédients sont déjà préparés & gardés au chaud, donc les sandwichs sont servis assez rapidement.

Le sandwich était vraiment bon &, pour être honnête, j'étais complètement rassasié après en avoir mangé un seul ! Le personnel était sympathique &, dans l'ensemble, je dirais que vous ne regretterez pas d'essayer cet endroit.

Je n'ai pas encore goûté leur café, mais ce sera certainement pour la prochaine fois. Je mettrai mon avis à jour après l'avoir essayé !
