REVIEWS
5 STARS BEST RUBEN EVER
As soon as I walked into this cafe the vibes were on. All the staff looked like they actually wanted to be there. The service was unreal and the waiter was prompt and backed the food on the menu.We got two sassy Ruben’s and iced lattes. When I tell you the beef in the Ruben is more tender than a woman’s touch please take my word for it. 11/10 this place slaps so hard I will forever think about this place and will dream about that sassy saucy naughty little Ruben.

"5 STARS"
“Visited for a weekday breakfast and service was warm, friendly and attentive. We sat in the courtyard which was lovely and tranquil. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and the food (mushroom with polenta and oat granola) was delicious and just the right size. Would happily come back to the cafe.”
