“ I absolutely adore this café! It’s an absolute gem with stunning visuals, delectable sweets, pastries, and coffee. The ambiance is so inviting that it’s like stepping into a European city. The prices might be a bit high but I think you pay for the ambiance ”
“ We worked with Ely to make the cake of our dreams for our wedding!!! I gave her some inspo pics and my vision, then told her to have creative freedom and look at the stunning masterpiece she came up with! I was getting my wedding photos taken while the cake was being delivered and I was so excited about the cake, I wasn’t paying attention to the photographer. The cake itself was rich, dense, flavorful and delicious. We got the almond cake with apricot filling and it was so decadent. The frosting was perfectly light and not overpowering either. The process to order was easy and Ely made sure to communicate all deadlines and helped us work around guests with allergies. This entire process was the easiest part of planning the wedding. I want to have another wedding just to order another cake from Ely. ”
“ Amazing place for pastries, coffee, and sweets. The brunch is satisfying but not nearly as exceptional as the donuts, cakes, macarons, and everything else! Genuinely innovative and fun with fantastic art déco atmosphère that's blends seamlessly. Lia made wonderful coffees and Aura was a bright and fun waitress! ”
“ Perfect place for lunch with the girls or a special significant other. Fancier than expected. I expected it to be a Panera-style grab-n- go bakery and Cafe, but was pleasantly surprised by the service and sit down atmosphere. It's a very cute updated boutique kind of Cafe. Food is serviced to your table with free water (I would have tipped better had I known I wasn't going to stand around & grab my own food). I ordered a meal with a dessert for dine-in and a dessert to-go. The roasted turkey sandwich on a pretzel roll was good quality ingredients and came with homemade pickles for what I would consider a fair price ($17). The baked goods I felt were pricier for what they were. The homemade oatmeal cream pie ($7) was delicious. The Arnold Palmer ($4) was mostly watery lemonade. The Peach Bellini pastry, a big part of why I stopped here, is where things went off the deep end. It was beautiful and artsy and unique. Unfortunately, the wide variety of textures and flavors were extremely odd and confusing to my palate (the goo inside with puree mint was the most flavorful part and yet it added to the flavor confusion). Not disgusting but definitely not something I would order again, especially at $13. ”
“ Truly an experience for all the senses. Stopped in for brunch after church on Sunday and from the minute we walked in, our eyes took in the beautiful esthetic of the dining area, food presentation, cafe and little gift shop. Smell of fresh coffee and bakery items got the juices going while we waited to be seated. We got seated within 15 minutes, service was efficient, friendly and at a good pace from start to finish. We tried bunch of items from brunch menu. Only little complaints; eggs overcooked on the shakshuka and mac & cheese too cold and little flavor but otherwise, testy meal with good portions and of course the breads stole the show. We took bunch of sweets home to try with extended family and there's no doubt this is an amazing bakery and we will come back for sure! ”
