Always love coming here to visit with old friends and have dessert! The manager is funny and so passionate about the food that comes out and treats everyone with Grace and friendliness. Today was just a quick dessert afternoon. Lemon sorbet was on the list which was cool and refreshing! It came with a sugar cookie biscuit which complimented it perfectly!

All around great experience. We had a charcuterie and turkey Pesto panini, and some drinks. There were many items on the menu we are looking forward to ordering on future visits. Happy hour all day weekends, this place was super affordable for a beautiful afternoon.

This place is an excellent restaurant, especially for sandwiches. My personal favorite is the Turkey Panini. The servers are always very attentive and the atmosphere is incredibly cozy. I always feel welcomed and comfortable when I dine-in at this restaurant.

See more reviews on our blog. killintheemptynest.com A nice quiet spot for a great meal and a glass of wine. The food here is gourmet, the wine list is impressive, the employees are friendly, and the place is clean.

Nice place right off Pacific Avenue to stop by and have a cup of coffee. One of the better places around town to have a meeting - prefer this place to Starbucks. Has a “homey” feel to it. Really enjoy the atmosphere and the pleasant staff. Anna (one of the staff) was very courteous and made me feel welcome. Although it was my first time here - I will definitely be coming back to this place!
