At this point, I barely look at the menu…read morebecause my order is set: the kale salad with grilled chicken, one guava waffle with guava rum butter, and a brown sugar latte. Yes, a kale salad and a guava waffle. Stay with me. The salad is fresh, savory, and hearty, especially with the grilled chicken. Then comes the waffle--warm, slightly sweet, and topped with guava rum butter that melts into every little pocket. Oh my goodness. Taking a bite of the savory chicken and kale, followed by that soft guava waffle, gives me the perfect sweet-and-savory meal. It should not work as beautifully as it does, but it absolutely does. And the brown sugar latte? Always. It's smooth, comforting, and sweet without tasting like someone poured syrup into a cup and called it coffee. The space has the easy, unhurried feeling of a neighborhood coffee shop, but the menu is giving a real brunch experience. It's cozy and beautifully lit during the day--the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy yourself without feeling rushed. The service matches that energy. Everyone is attentive, kind, and genuinely knows the menu. They always greet you with a smile and give you exactly the right amount of small talk: enough to make you feel welcomed, never so much that it interrupts your peace. The atmosphere, the people, and that guava rum butter keeps me coming back.

Make your own if you're not feeling theirs. It's worth it. Also writing this review because they are just quality people. I ordered a vegan pizza with some toppings but wanted pepperoni and that wasn't an option. I made a note asking if a substitution was possible, knowing it likely wasn't because of a price difference. I'm not vegan, but I needed a dairy-free alternative since I am breastfeeding a baby with a cow milk protein intolerance. The LOADED up my pizza. Truly stand-up humans.

It's a comfortable little place with a nice vibe. Our waiter, Daniel, was great. He introduced himself and told us about specials. He took our drink orders and promptly came back with same. We asked about some appetizers and he gave us great advice. We ordered the fried chicken app (yummy, fresh chunks of fried chicken with a nice dipping sauce.) we also had the eggplant croquettes, those were quite tasty. The dates wrapped in bacon were also yummy. We ordered more food for dinner. He took a couple more drink orders,all good. After a bit he told us the food would be out in about 10 minutes, and it did! We had a three cheese pizza which was great. One of our party had the cauliflower salad and said it was very good. The French fries were also hot and tasty. The lentil soup was reported as being just ok. The beef bourguignon looked great. Unfortunately, the beef was dry. It had great potential but missed the target. Same for the roasted half chicken, it looked great, the sauce was great, but the chicken was overdone and dry. The bread pudding was so so. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM was that Daniel left after the dinner came. Eventually a young lady came around to our table. She never introduced herself, but the ticket said Nyla. She literally never would clear the table. I cleared several big plates and put them on an empty table next to us. Those empty plates were there when we left. The plates with pizza crust and the finished bowl of lentil soup were also still there. She never brought the bill. I had to flag her down to get it. Then I had to get up to go pay. Lo and behold, there was an automatic 20% tip. Now it became clear why she didn't bother taking care of her table. The food is so so and the service was horrific. I won't go back.

I ordered the Roni pizza($20). It was okay, definitely not matching the hype my friends gave it. It may have been because I came in close to closing time. Customer service was okay.

Just wanted to chill. It was a rainy afternoon and Il Caffe Latte fit the bill. I really enjoyed my matcha. On the other hand, my egg sandwich on sourdough with the cheddar cheese and turkey sausage add on, needed a little more pizzazz. The sliced bread didn't feel the freshest and didn't have the rustic feel I'm used to with sourdough. The turkey sausage was cut up in the scramble and felt skimp. The seasoning on the home fries, however, was just right. I enjoyed those! My friend had her sandwich on a croissant with bacon instead. I heard that combo was excellent. Il Caffe Latte seemed to have a good mix of regulars and just passerby's and it was nice to see that dynamic. I would give it another shot!

This shop is located at the bottom of The Maven Luxury apartments. The space felt calm, bright, & intentionally curated without trying too hard. What stood out most was the creativity of the menu. Instead of the usual generic coffee lineup, they had drinks like a Honey Lavender Latte, Strawberry Matcha, Toasted Coconut Latte, and even blueberry lemonade. It gave the shop personality. I ended up trying the hot Tiramisu specialty latte one day and returned the next day for the Toasted Coconut latte. Appreciated the flavors being balanced and handcrafted instead of another overly sweet drink. The pastries and sandwich specials also were solid -- especially the croissants and breakfast brioche options. This feels like the kind of café you stop into for "just coffee" and accidentally stay awhile. Definitely a nice local find if you enjoy boutique coffee shops with seasonal flavor combos and a relaxed atmosphere.

I really wanted to give this place a try after hearing so much about it and to my dismay I have to…read moregive it a three. A very nice small intimate coffee shop, quite clean inside, but for my first experience it was an odd one. The customer service energy was off. Although the staff were friendly they seemed confused and disoriented. I had to say more than three times when asked what I wanted. Then after purchasing what I wanted, a the gentleman came over to me to tell me that they didn't have anymore croissants only bagels and brioche bread that was like a croissant. I know they both were create in France, but they are not the same, because a croissant is flaky and brioche is very firm and soft. I've would have liked to known this before I made a purchase, so I settled for the brioche. Now while waiting on my order, the same girl who helped me with my order asked me again what did I order, (fourth time) because she forgot what my drink and wasn't sure if the drink the guy made was mine or someone else. It was only one person who ordered a drink ahead of me. My sandwich was served to me and it was just ok. It was supposed to be a hot one yet the meat was cold and everything else was warm. It just didn't come together properly. The sauce that was served with it, maybe a chipotle mayo, that added some pop to it. As for my latte, although it wasn't giving social media vibes that I saw had whipped cream and chocolate sauce, it still made my visit a happy one. As a matter of fact, it would be the only reason I would return if I'm in this area again. It was so yummy, so cold, and so refreshing! On my way out I purchased a lychee juice and they had no idea what the price of that was until I they rang it up for me to purchase. They didn't have a long list of products that were available, they could at least have an idea about the pricing of what they had available for purchase, just seem clueless about everything. I would just stick to the drinks here, and make my purchase to go for next time. It just was not worth the hype. No thumbs up on this visit but as always- Happy Yelping!

So yes one small customized immunity boosting juice ordered. Oh and let's just say they were true to the ingredients you select. The ginger root I paid a touch extra for...oh yah it was there. Had to couple it with a late lunch bite, so beef Empanada of course. Warmed up just for me with a crunchy exterior, juicy beef interior. So delicious, you can almost never go wrong. Bonus star for not being a greasy mess! What caught my eye more though was something called Yuca cheese...what's that? I have never seen such a perfectly cubed item starring at me saying 'TRY ME'. This lovely item can be put on a platter with a spot light. Alright, maybe too much, but let's get real, I love yuca and cheese. Why not marry them together, genius! I decided to buy it not 100% knowing what to expect, but it was great! It's not like a Mozzarella cheese stick in sense of tight, pull of oozy goozyness. It was more of a cube of grounded/shredded yuca with a small cheese center, breaded and I guess baked. It wasn't greasy which leads me to believe baked over fried. Nevertheless, I'm sure it's like a secret family recipe with grandma in the back churning them out. Alongside endless Empanadas LoL! I would love to see if I can replicate such an item, but I'm sure it wouldn't be as good as the one made with love that day I walked in to try it. I encourage all locals, or even travelers like myself to try them out when in the neighborhood. It's totally worth it!
