    Their pistachio gelato is to DIE FOR! So nutty and creamy. If you love coffee their espresso is strong bold and delicious! My friend got the ricotta pear that was an unexpected combination that works

    Some of the best gelato I've had. But that's not all this place has going for it. A great cappuccino. And these flatbread sandwiches called "piadina" are made with fresh, quality ingredients.

    I am excited I finally found a coffee art place in the OC! Apparently they also have delicious, handmade gelato in the evening.

    Great Italian food with home made soups and pasta. The croissants are also fresh and home made. Breakfast choices limited but healthy.

    Best buffalo mozzarella and pistachio gelato I've ever had; their flat bread is more similar to a pita sandwich.

    The roasted potatoes are really good. There's a reason they've got their own mention on the menu.

    Interesting and tasty flavors but overly expensive. "Taste flight" for gelato - (literally) 5 bites (kinds) for $5... Freaking expensive. Too light texture as a gelato. I'm not happy ;(
