“ Coffee. Very good. Smooth, but to a fault. Little lacking in area of robustness. Not a ton of flavor but lighter and drinkable. Best (by far, because has anyone ever had it?) cinnamon water. The hot chocolates presentation was great (bonus points for the mini spoon) but half the cup was whipped cream and I wish it wasn’t because it was really good. Really nice people working and they were nice and quick. The seating was a little crammed, still cozy though. And if anyone was wondering there isn’t really an aroma ”
“ Drove in from the Roc, the Cafe here is quality. Fresh, clean, bold yet not bitter. I really love coffee, it’s always better when I travel abroad and the latte I had here felt like I was outside of the US. It’s very cozy and close knit inside in a warm and welcoming way. It’s very cleanly and despite the crowd my latte was out pretty quickly. ”
“ Hasn't changed much in the last 20 years and that is okay with me. Such wonderful memories coming here for soccer games in the 2010's. Its new owner has been working there since I can remember, is supremely dedicated and her attention to detail is apparent. She really does love the place and it shows in the decor and service . Staff is always friendly and attentive. And the coffee here is very STRONG indeed. The greatest location in the city for people watching, dog petting, and just good vibes in general. God has blessed this establishment in our beloved Elmwood Village. ”
“ I've redone my review to reflect a recent visit I had here I had a latte and slice of frittata. The two food cases were filled with pastries, frittata, pasta salad, and other things I couldn't see because people were blocking my view. That's okay though because I just wanted some frittata. So if a quick bite to eat is your thing, as was my critique for my last review, you'll find something here. I was served by a wonderful person, we bonded in that small-talk-with-strangers way over having long nails and how I was envious of theirs. They gave me great service and as I had seen here and there while I was at this cafe they provided great service to everyone ”
