We tried the caramel cake - not too sweet and very moist crumb with a not too sweet cream cheese (?) and caramel icing, served with whipped cream.

If we were ever in the area we would definitely return.

The food was fresh and delicious. My partner ordered beef burger. She was very happy that the side salad was very fresh and enjoyed her beef burger. I had a grilled chicken focaccia with side fries.
