Owner

Al is dedicated to bringing this neighborhood cafe to the next level. Having previously owned a boutique garment company for 10 years, Al is not new to running his own business.

  This place has charm, friendly employees, fantastic coffee and beautiful pastries. I've never tried any of the real food (sandwiches, etc) but it sure looks good. The prices are very reasonable. This place is my go-to for good coffee and fun atmosphere- there's free Wifi too. Al, the owner, makes a mean espresso! I just love this place. GO!

  My favorite local coffee shop. Exceptional cappuccino, small but tasty selection of food, super nice owner and staff, dog and kid friendly. Highly recommended! (Photo shows raspberry scones, freshly baked in-house, delicious!)

  Quaint cafe, good coffee and good breakfast sandwiches. Not going to blow your mind, but it won't claim to; and you won't have a crazy line.
