I'm not a wine person generally speaking so I can't speak on how good the wine was, but I didn't dislike anything that I had, so that's a good sign! Service was friendly and consistent. Overall, had a positive experience.

My friend saw this place as a recommend place for hot chocolate so we decided to stop by on a…read moreThursday night. The place itself is super cute and very cozy. The menu is fairly on the basic side - mainly drinks and pastries and there is some sandwiches. We decided to get the hot chocolate with whip cream (the whip cream is very needed). It was very rich, thick and delicious and not "too sweet." The whip cream really makes it more creamy and it does not really add to the sweetness which was good. We also got a side of Salame e Formaggio which I would recommend passing on because the cheese was kind of hard and not that great. The salami was good and honestly I'm not a fan of olives but my friend who liked it enjoyed them. Overall - a cute place to stop by for a hot chocolate and maybe a pastry!

I have no idea what this place is at this point. Some reviews said it was a Bluestone but there's…read moreno mention of that inside. There's one sign for "Chalsty's Cafe", another for "Amy's Bread", and the menu is really limited. The turkey sandwich I had was good but really small so I'm glad I also ordered a pastry, the cranberry pecan bread. Overall, not a great value for $22, but I suppose I'm paying the NY premium and the Museum premium... The two guys running the place were nice, one suggested I have them toast the sandwich which I think helped because otherwise it would have been pretty boring from a texture perspective.

When I visited on a Friday afternoon, there was only one staff person working - one person taking orders, making coffees, and making sandwiches. This meant a bit of a wait. But my little cookie (rye and ginger) and my cappuccino were good. Not a bad place for a snack if you're in the museum, but it's certainly not a full restaurant as some museums have.

Ordered an ice spanish latte, nothing particularly special but it did the job. My friend ordered an Iced Chai and we found the cinnamon flavoring overpowering and did not finish. Much like slow sipping a fireball candy. The employees were sweet, ambiance was great. I would try again for the Kyoto method but stay away from the chai.

I asked for the least sweet option and to my delight, learned that I could have their masala chai unsweetened. It was just black tea, milk and spices! A winner. There was a good amount of pastry options and I had a hard time deciding but ultimately landed on the chicken and cheese samosa, and the handmade rusk cake. The samosa was warmed up and served with a chutney sauce and a green (cilantro?) sauce. I liked them both but gravitated mostly towards the green sauce. The cheese addition was great in the samosa. It was my first time having rusk cake and I thought it would be soft, but the texture was biscuit like. Great flavor, not too sweet. I liked it with my tea. Next time I may opt for a slice of the tahini loaf. Staff were sweet and the service was leisurely, which I actually appreciated because what's the rush? Happy I gave Kaafi a try and will be back.

The Athletes Breakfast Burrito with a mixed greens salad hit the spot. We had nice service, got a table pretty quickly even on a crowded weekend morning, and never felt rushed. Bonus was scoring an outside table on a beautiful day. Menu has more than enough to choose from for a small cafe in a church setting. It's a smaller menu but fits well here. I also thought prices were ok and pretty much representative of the area. No complaints as I've never had a bad experience here. Plus, they have a decent bathroom too.
