    The best in town! Carrot Cake, Devils Food Cake, Sandwiches, Salads, Mocha's & Croissants. The list goes on... Just an all around fantastic place to hang out at! The barista's know what they're doing!

    Cute and cozy! Try the Buttery Benny: two poached eggs, toasted ciabatta, and fried red potatoes! The dish was lacking a little flavor though... Had to put some chili sauce on them eggs!

    Great sandwiches and amazing bread and baked goods. Didn’t get to try any of the cakes but they looked extremely tempting.

    #2 breakfast (bacon, egg, cheddar) sandwich on croissant for the win! Great latte and pastries as well!

    I had a macaroon and mocha (they were delicious), but there is just so much to choose from here. Highly recommended.

    Do not wait to be seated. Order bakery goods at counter to the left or meals from the counter on the right. Veggie Benny should keep you going for the day.

    Check out their web site for cafe specials. If you see the Fried Chicken with Slaw sandwich on their calendar, get in there and grub! It's awesome!

    They make mochas with their own special chocolate; Highly recommended! Also, they have the best cheesecake around.

    Try the Express Sandwich - simple and perfect with coffee for lunch or breakfast!

    Food is great, but environment is chaotic and service is slow. The "take a number" system produces an auction-like effect that really takes away from the quality of the food. Redesign please!

    The mocha is delicious! It tastes very real, like it's made with dark chocolate.

    Lunch specials (and soups) change weekly so check their menu for what's available. Try the Chicken Pot Pie.

    I liked the coffee a lot. Vegetarian eggs Benedict was great, but rich and heavy- be prepared.

    Fantastic pastries, coffee and bread. The café sit down options are a little pricey and mediocre.

    Wow. Four staff standing behind the counter, no one waiting, and you won't help me until I walk across the store, take a number from your machine, and walk back to the counter?

    They won't sell slices of the key lime pie which is the whole reason I ventured here in the first place. Dumb.
