👍👍 The cutest place in downtown Rocky River. Came in for the bubble tea 🧋. Best we ever had. The owner had a special touch that you have got to try with fresh fruit. Yum!! Will definitely be back. Lots of ice cream choices too and they serve food. People often mention coffee, owner,

    This is a place for self care, and I cannot recommend it higher. I stumbled upon this place looking for another restaurant. It had a menu in the window that looked interesting though. It had tables for eating inside, but also a massage chair near the entrance. I couldn't see a menu inside, so I wandered around a little bit in the small shop. There were pastries on the inside of the window, and someone yelling from the back at her daughter who was sitting in one of the chairs in the shop. The woman in the back didn't yet know I'd walked in. When she emerged, she invited me to sit down anywhere, after going outside to see the menu again, which apparently was the only place it existed at the moment while she was waiting for a printer to produce new ones. And that's when I really met Carlitta, a force of nature who's aim in life seems to be hospitality and good food. And when I say good food, I mean nuanced, balanced, delicious, interesting, chef quality food. Carlitta described every aspect of every ingredient in my Avo Burger, and she delivered something that defied her description. Stop in, by yourself or with a friend or two, the place isn't really designed for a group. Treat yourself, this is the place to do it.

    The best pho I have EVER had! The owner was so kind and had great suggestions for items on her menu. Her service was above and beyond, having waited on us herself. We had a wonderful conversation about her process for making pho, and many of it's health benefits. Highly recommend checking her out! You can call ahead even for pickup!

    This was such a fun experience! We were the only people in the store and we were treated so amazing! We got boba, San Pellegrino, pizza bagels, and a breakfast croissant! It was all prepared fresh and while we waited for everything to cook we were offered free samples and an amazing conversation! Cant wait to go back!

    From the second we walked into the door, we were greeted with enthusiasm and energy. The sandwiches we ordered were probably some of the best we’ve ever had and the lattes were also delicious. We will definitely be going back!

    Very nice place with great atmosphere! Carlitta was so nice and welcoming. Had a great drink (and the toppings were so cute), can't wait to go back and try more! All the food that was offered looked and sounded delicious - definitely going to be back in order to try more! Would highly recommend.

    I just happened to be walking by with a friend and we overheard the owner describing how she prepares her dishes. It sounded so amazing that it stopped us in our tracks and we had to try the beef Pho! It was fantastic! The ingredients were fresh, fragrant and flavorful and it was all so delicious! The owner was very welcoming and truly wanted to make sure we had the best experience. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely be repeat customers 😁

    Had the best Pho soup today after stocking up on olive oils and vinegars at Olive Scene. The owner is so passionate about the quality of the menu it is apparent when you taste it. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

    Decided to pop in for a small bite for lunch and I’m glad I did. I have dietary restrictions due to a health condition so I often have to modify food items. I heavily modified the avocado toast and the woman helping me, I believe the owner Carlitta, was graciously accommodating and kind while answering all my questions and making my food to my exact request. Without me asking due to me removing a good amount of items from my order she also adjusted the price. Which was an unexpectedly thoughtful gesture. I would have paid twice what I did due to her wonderful service and personality. Most important part is the food was delicious! It was a wonderful experience and I will surely be returning. I urge you to try this spot

    Ordered a coffee and left. 2 dogs barking behind the counter in the food and coffee prep area. Isn’t that a food safety/hygiene violation? Someone brought them in through a kitchen area and hung out on her phone behind the counter while the dogs barked and another person made my coffee. Gross. Won’t be back.

    Me and my bf both got a croissant sandwich and they were both cold in the middle and hard on the bottom. I got an iced latte and it didn’t seem like espresso at all, it seemed more like regular dark roast coffee that was chilled. My bf also got a smoothie and those 4 items made the bill $47 before a tip.
