In Short
Just stepping into this European-style cafe makes you feel properly intellectual. Almost everyone has a book open, a computer whirring or an important letter in progress. The menu mixes expected cafe fare, such as crispy hot panini sandwiches, a tangy house salad and luscious cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, with more ambitious daily specials, such as chicken liver pate, grilled endive salad and potato blintzes.

The coffee is amazing,they have a greet cook that always prepares food the same way and it's great! Service is very bad, last week I saw a girl on the phone, another talking to a friend, I just could not order my food so I left!

I just moved into the neighborhood and found the food here to be excellent. There are lots of great daily specials and the desserts are great. The atmospere is good, if you can find a seat. However, only once have I ever felt like I was treated well by the staff (out of, probably, 8 visits). I was getting lots of to-go orders because I was busy moving in, and, like in the other reviewer mentioned, they treated me like an intrusion. I have had to interrupt a staff member (a few times) who was talking to a friend of theirs just to place my order. I have had to inquire about my food when I saw it sitting there ready to go (and getting cold). Most of the staff seem to hate their jobs (or at least the part about helping customers). I don't know if they think it's ok to be rude because they are so "hip and european" but the cafes I've been to in Europe have had far better service. Regardless, I haven't been back since I found some time to explore the area and find other places with good food and far better service.

I passed by this place many times - it was always crowded. Finally I went at 8 am and it was one of the best experiences. The coffee was good, there were all sorts of fresh pastries to chooses from. I had an omlette which was done very well. Unlike other places near by this one remained quiet even when it filled up.
