I had the most delicious Harvard sandwich, it comes with a side of salad! The inside & outdoor terrace is lovely! You feel very welcomed when you walk in.

Absolutely dynamite mix of Portuguese & Greek sandwiches/salads, plus coffee & breakfast items. Plus cocktails. & it's all...affordable?! The staff is super friendly, & we got a chance to chat with the owner, who went over the top in making sure we were taken care of. & had a great sense of humor. All around great experience!

Delicious & darling. I got a salad & a London Fog. They were able to speak English to me (Thank you). The menu outside also had English translations.

I enjoyed my salad & tea before heading to MonTango for a class & Milonga.

I even asked if they carried mints so as to have nice breath while I was dancing. They gave me their personal stick of gum.

If not dancing, I heard some live music coming from the park that you could hear from their patio.

Absolutely lovely place!
The staff are super nice & friendly, & everything tastes yummy!
Also, the prices are great!
We ordered many things & were happy with all, from the cocktail to the London fog, from the scone to the salad, all excellent.
So happy that they're back open

Long-ago review! I used to love their marbled cake, their salads & sandwiches, the warm vibes... but that was long ago... now I see that they're announcing the re-opening! I'm looking forward to seeing if it's restoring an oldie-but-a-goodie in the area, rekindling wonderful memories of music & art in days past, or if they'll be trying to create new love from scratch! Either way, I'm excited! Here's to whatever they become!
