    The tiramisu was near perfect, just a small portion of it was slightly frozen.

    It's fine, I guess, but it was WAYYY too expensive for what it is. 2 skinny sandwiches were $50. They're also all pre-made so they don't even accommodate allergies or dietary preference. I would not come back

    Once in a while , on weekends, my espresso has been cold or bitter. I understand it’s a busy time, but I don’t think quality and service should suffer.

    I love coming here, great café/Italian deli atmosphere, with nice outdoor seating. I’m giving three stars in hopes that the owners see my comments and improve, so I can go back and edit my review at some point: Here are the the issues that lost two stars: 1-they recently changed from making sandwiches from scratch to making them in advance and serving them from their cold case. They were not able to modify it for me as it was premade. 2- because the sandwich is premade, it comes out first. My wife ordered a salad, which took 20 minutes to come out. (on a busy Saturday). We wound up eating the sandwich first, thought about canceling the salad, then it came out….the meal was fragmented. 3- the sandwich was served on a big puffy roll, which was good, but with the small amount of filling (mortadella, and Buratta), too much bread! Better if served on thinner bread (focaccia or ciabatta?) We both left the top half of our rolls. 4- to go back and order coffee and gelato, we had to wait on another long line. Then we got the gelato right away. We had to wait for the coffee for 10 minutes, so another fragmented experience. By the way, the coffee was good, as was the nice cookie and gelato that we had. We will go back next time we’re in the area, and hopefully can change the review to 5* if some of the issues are addressed.

    Amazing place. Looks really nice inside and everything feels fresh. I got a Too Good To Go bag and honestly didn’t expect much, but the baguette was so good I started eating it on the way home. Super fresh, crispy, just really good bread. They also gave croissants and some extra baked goods, all of them were great. Everything smelled and looked amazing. Definitely coming back.
