    Delicious and good price - I had the fresh mozzarella and avocado sandwich. The roll was fresh and soft with a nice crunchy top, just how I like it. The basil pesto was very good and it compliments the balsamic dressingly fantasticly. If you live in this area, give it a try for yourself.

    Oh man, this place was great. They are one of the few places in this area open at 7a for breakfast. Nice little walk in cafe, with some outdoor and indoor seating. Very friendly staff. The smoked salmon (not lox, but actual smoked salmon) with egg on a bagel was delicious. Latte was really good. Good portions, fresh ingredients. Highly recommend.

    A small, sundry coffee breakfast café-ita that delivers a wallop of taste and freshness. I thought SEO falsified the 5 stars. I dare say, 5 stars is accurate. I am a visitor in the city. I arrived at the airport and wanted to save on breakfast. I walked to the cafe from civic center. No, not to eat here. To visit someone at the hospital across the street. After the long walk through seedy Gotham City, my appetite was roaring. I ordered the English breakfast sandwich with bacon and was completely pleased. I was sure it was going to be similar to McDee's because can you really make an English muffin that good?! Well, perhaps it was the maple sauce and the perfectly toasted skilled conniseurists. I would be remissed if I did not give a double handclap, high five and double snap to the peanut butter mocha latte with a splash of vanilla. Value: Excellent Price: Reasonable for what you get Customer service: Exceptional with smiles Highlight: eggs are baked, smoothies are creamy

    The first time I went, I did not enjoy it but it turned out they made the latte wrong so the owner graciously gave me a free one and sure enough, it tasted amazing. The lavender latte is very floral and flavorful. To be honest, it still tasted a little too light for me but you can ask them to put more lavender syrup! And I wish they put more ice cus it all melted in just 3 minutes but you can always ask for more ice. I can tell they really care about the customer's satisfaction and it's really nice. I'm definitely going to be trying out their pastries next time!

    Tiny but mighty! Lot of options for breakfast and lunch. The avocado and egg toast has an amazing rosemary aioli. The ultimate was amazing too. The coffee was hot.

    Coziness of small coffee shop, warm smile of the people working at this place, and nice hot coffee (yes, they have iced ones too). Many good options for things that you can order to eat. They are quick in preparing the orders. Even if you see a long line, it may not take that long. Interesting place to sit, sip coffee, observe and admire wonderful people that come and go. Good place to start the day, or come in at any hour of the day.

    I love coming here in the morning or on my breaks to get a coffee and treat! I always get the vanilla latte with oat milk and it’s one of the best vanilla lattes I’ve had (both hot and iced). The croissants here are also top tier and always hit the spot. Staff is so friendly and I got a smiley face on my cup which was so appreciated after a hard week. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a good drink and bite to eat.

    Got two great croissant sandwiches. Well filled with beautiful crispy croissants that even traveled well for 15 min. Had avocado Ad on which was generous with great tasting avocado. Definitely getting more when opportunity arise.

    Honestly I am too lazy for reviews but this place was truly the best! I want to come back and try EVERYTHING on the menu. We got fresh mozzarella with avocado and I think the pesto was homemade. So fresh! The egg/ham/cheese bagel was also soo good but mozzarella sandwich was the winner imo

    Very nice place to eat! Food is delicious, coffee is great and enough choice. They handled our serious food allergy very well!

  • 4/5 Jim C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little place just a short walk from my hotel. Only grabbed the Ultimate Breakfast sandwich on this trip, it did not disappoint. The croissant was crispy and flaky with that great buttery taste. Just the right amount of fillings to not make the the sandwich to complex. Prices have gone up slightly but I blame the times. Super friendly people who work and just chill out there...looking forward to visiting again.

    The best sandwiches, drinks, and smoothies in Nob Hill! They have breakfast and lunch items. We come here for breakfast all the time. Get their Lavender Latte (or any one of their smoothies!) and Bacon, Egg, Cheese Everything Bagel (my husband likes the English Breakfast Sandwich) - they're to DIE for!!! Everyone is extremely friendly, kind, and the service is prompt and professional!

    I was in the city to do some shopping and felt a need to eat something good. A friend recommended this small cafe and a quick few minutes walk from the city center later, I’m loving it!! I got their roast beef sandwich (with caramelized onions, home made rosemary sauce with a touch of garlic, arugula dresses with our own honey vinaigrette and balsamic sauces, melted Swiss cheese on well toasted crispy ciabatta)! I had the one thing and currently is on my top sandwiches in the city. Small but adorable cafe with a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Menu also includes breakfast items, baked goods, and a selection of coffee beverages. Will definitely be back to try other items!

    Absolut hervorragend. We loved to drink a good coffee and a small breakfast with egg, ham, toast. It was absolutely delicious. Thank you very much.

    I wish I tried Crostini and Java sooner. Friendly staff and great vibes. The ultimate stop for a late breakfast or early cappuccino.
