★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 analise ellis · Jan 2026

Food and atmosphere were fine. Got a caperse sandwich 20 bucks the cook starts making it no hand washing then rubs his nose on his wrists. Got my sandwich and the arugula was spoiled. Called 4 times to try and resolve it and get a refund, to no avail. I then left a review with a photo of clearly old and decaying arugula. Then after seeing my review the owner decided to call me and scream at me. I was told the bitter taste was from balsamic then asked if I even knew what arugula was. Seriously stay away so so rude.

After living in Italy this bakery is such a gem! Walking in we were greeted by what seemed to be a family who run the store. A young lady helped us at the counter and told us how they import all ingredients from Italy which reflected in the prices(understandable due to the tariffs). Then an older man made our latte and americano. The pastries and the coffee were delicious and brought me back to the cobbled streets of Rome. What a lucky surprise to find this place and be reminded of good memories.

Super delicious! I just got a cannoli and latte this time, but both were really good. They both tasted authentic and delicious. It reminded me so much of my time in Italy, and when the owner said she imports her ingredients from Italy I believe it. I really want to come back and try the rest of the baked goods, sandwiches, or pasta!

During a walk, i stopped in for coffee and a crossant. Walking in the grandad was assembling boxes for pastries and grandma was sitting doing the books. The main pastry chef, was the husband and the boss was the wife. I loved the whole Italian cafe atmosphere. There was the music of the Italian language being passed around by the family, next to the music background. I had the regular coffee and a chocolate croissant, which was fresh and slightly crunchy and soft and smooth inside with a chocolate layer top off the entire experience. This is a small bakery, but has a wide variety of breads and sweet pastries. I am sure you could ask them to make any pastry or bread. This is definitely a small family owned and operated cafe and bakery. You must give it a try or you will miss out. If you fou

The desserts truly authentic and are absolutely delightful. The delizia al limone/ lemon treat has a wonderfully smooth fluffiness in the center, balancing the fresh tanginess of the lemon on the outside.( it’s not overpoweringly sweet like American pastries) The elderberry pastry offers a delightful tartness, complemented by a subtle sweetness in the jam filling, while its crunchy exterior enhances the overall experience. Great service! Small family owned business If you have the opportunity to stop by - you must!
