There was a big table perfectly sized for our large group where we were able to enjoy our donuts and coffees. The place was comfy and cozy and I loved all the plants. The one employee who was there was very kind and prepared our drinks quickly despite being the only one in. We all enjoyed! Just because I noticed some of these reviewes are quite old, I would add that they do take credit cards here (they are NOT cash-only) and they certainly do have espresso. It was a little tricky to find due to signage, but we're glad we did!

Thank you so much!

You will often see the same few people working there, and despite how insanely busy it can get, they've even remembered us after almost a month of not being there. I've been both inside and on the back patio. Surprisingly, despite the cold, they did an amazing job of keeping the patio cozy and warm (blankets, seat warmers that may burn your butt if you're not careful but they do warn you, and heat lamps). The vibe of the place is fun and welcoming. I've mostly had the drinks, which are fabulous and their hot chocolate always hits the right note. Their bartender often has new specials and is also very good at creating delicious cocktails. The one food item I have tried was their special crème brûlée, and holyyyyy. I'm pretty sure I'd try every version of that. I plan to go back more and I am excited to one day get to try their other food!

Took us a about 2 minutes to decide on a seat. Fairly empty place but i was with a picky kid and i wanted to sit on the balcony. I sat and my daughter walked through the games and finally decided on one. The waitress/host who greeted us did not come over during this time. While we were setting up our game about 6 minutes after the seat selection the waitress comes over, finally, with water and ask have we been there before I said no and then she says it cost for games. She didn't say that upon entry or in the 6 minutes that I was sitting. This was very frustrating and is a pet peeve of mine. Tell customers all information as soon as possible. I noticed that this happened with another table who came in as we were wrapping up. So, it wasn't just us but please tell people in advance. Gives off sneaky hidden fees vibes. Very quiet place. Cute. The balcony was cute. I ordered my last drink and then ordered dessert and said please go ahead and close my tab and bring the check. That didn't happen. When we finished we sat there for 10 minutes until the waitress came back. It's possible that she didn't hear my requests. I try to be efficient because when a kid gets restless I like to move quickly. No one spoke to us when we left despite there being three staff persons at the door. No one said, "thanks for coming in, hope you enjoyed." "Come back soon" I found that odd and not very customer/patron friendly.

After a bit of googling, we discovered this location of Il Gelato Di Carlotta. It was mid-afternoon so the place wasn't exactly busy, but that was just fine with us. After waiting for a customer to finish up, I decided to get a small cup of their Pistacchio gelato. (Their spelling, not mine.) It's very good. Although it was maybe a little icier than I might've preferred, the flavor was right on point. The gelato had a rich pistachio flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. I also tried a bit of my dining companion's Gianduia and that was much tastier. It wasn't icy at all and it had this rich chocolate flavor that I found irresistible. Service was terrific, and the atmosphere was small but cute. This is a great place for locals, I'd bet.

The lady behind counter was so helpful with recommending what to get. The strawberry cheesecake mount Olympus was insane. Would recommend swapping out the strawberry syrup on the ice cream, for dark chocolate. We also got the Hazelnut puffs. The cookies and cream ice cream topping sauce was too sweet ( would have preferred dark chocolate). So Mr Puffs is basically fried dough balls with sauce on it. The Puffs are warm and paired with the ice cream, the combination is just insane. The only thing id say is, although we were 4-5 people sharing, we got 2 mount olympus 8 piece and it was an insane amount of ice cream . Id recommend even as a group , get 1 with ice cream and then just some puffs on the side :).

Gonna have to come back for lunch sometime. Sandwiches look great! It looks like when weather is nice they will have some outside seating, as well. Parking can be challenging and there is a small lot behind the building, but I couldn't tell if it was only for the apartments that are there or also for customers of the cafe? I will have to ask next time I go. If the parking lot is available that makes it so much easier.
