Such a sweet cafe. I ordered the basics, eggs, bacon, toast, with potatoes and was not disappointed! I splurged on sparkling water and was delighted to try the Italian Filette for the first time. I highly recommend this spot for a low-key, high-quality experience. I also have to add that I adored the waitress. Although I forget her name, her timing was impeccable with every step. Bravo!
