Food: Amazing! I highly recommend the croissant with pistachio butter and the creamed kale quiche. My mom says she had the "best Cobb salad" of her life because it had lots of blue cheese and Italian dressing. Drink: London fog was adequate and standard Service: Not Good- this is geared for work from home people and casual. We had a baby there was no changing station in the bathroom and the tables were dirty. I asked for the table to be wiped and the person working the bar did not have a pleasant attitude. One good thing to note is you use your QR code to scan and order and you pay immediately. There is no wait staff. read more

Have I never reviewed this place?! One of my favorite daytime places in Ohio city and maybe all of the Cleveland area. Creative light fare dishes, feels very affordable for the caliber of quality. This place is fantastic to work in all day. Even better if you can have lunch with one of your best friends and a cocktail! Every guest is started off with a jar of water and a QR code that you can use to order or you can order at the bar. Using the QR code when working is so convenient. The interior is flawless, lots of old character paired with modern, alfresco design. read more

My friend and I went over to Patron Saint Cafe + Bar after grabbing lunch nearby. It was a cute, quiet spot, and I can see why it was popular among workers and students. We helped ourselves to seats in front of the giant window and were handed menus right away by a server. My friend mentioned that spritzes were their specialties, and I noticed their expansive menu of them. I got the St. Germain Spritz with lychee flavors, and it was everything I wanted it to be. Sweet, refreshing, and fruity. I tried my friend's Spaghett's spritz. It was made with Miller High Life, which was interesting, but surprisingly good! The palate was so much different than my cocktail as it was more on the bitter side. Since we had finished lunch, I found it appropriate to get dessert at Patron Saint. We got the polar pear cake, which was an ice box cake made with pears and whipped ricotta. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet, and the pears were poached perfectly. I wasn't the biggest fan of the ricotta. Maybe a sweetened mascarpone would've been a better alternative for me. read more

I love Patron Saint. I've been there a few times now and it is 5 stars ever single time. The service is welcoming and kind. Knowledgeable and experienced. The style of the place is so cute, great architecture. They let you sit and enjoy yourself, they don't rush you out which makes it a great cafe to visit with a friend or work from. The food and drinks are delcious! I am obsessed with the pistachio butter, it's a must have add to the fresh delcious croissant. Highly recommend. read more

Patron Saint Cafe + Bar is the equivalent to an Italian vacay without leaving CLE (Hingetown). The cafe is located at the historic Vitrolite building in Hingetown. Vitrolite used to be a manufacturer of glass and its tiles in the original showroom are well preserved in the space. It gives is an extra dash of character. I have been a fan girl of Patron Saint since it's been under construction and loved it so very much ever since it opened. AMBIANCE: Relaxed and always sunlit experience. Grandeur looking dining room with gorgeous arches and ample sunlight. The space has a bar, tables, and breakfast bar. Bottle shop is available with merch (like pastel tees) and wine. It's an ideal location for solo dining or dates. The Vitrolite also houses the Matriarchy (women-owned business space), Harness Cycle (trendy cycle studio), and Soul Space (lovely yoga studio). You can access these businesses right from the cafe. The building is in close proximity to other notable local landmarks like the Transformer Station. Patron Saint is a perfect stop after your yoga or cycling class. Or for a relaxed dinner. Or really for any occasion. I typically take myself on solo dates here, and love every minute. FOOD: I have been going to Patron Saint since its opening. I have been impressed with every single dish and drink here. Drinks are very well crafted. Food is a work of art. My favorites are egg in purgatory, croissants, and aperitivos. My friends rave about cortados and the olive cake. Literally, we had a group chat dedicated to Patron Saint's olive cake. It's that good! During my last visit I ordered Pork Meatballs ($16) and Stuffed Peppers Special ($6). Both very perfectly hearty small plates, the right amount of food. Pork meatballs were topped with thinly sliced veggies and the meat quality tasted top notch. Stuffed peppers were mini peppers with a bit of spice. I really enjoyed both. Specials are always available at Patron Saint. It's currently Negroni week. They host a fun Après Ski week during winter. Oyster nights are a thing here. There are constantly new surprises and specials. I love to explore new things on the menu. SERVICE: Service is excellent every single time. Staff is always very genuine, warm, and kind. It's surreal really. Staff also always recommends what's best on the menu, patiently answers your questions, and even creates something off the menu (like drinks). I love Patron Saint Cafe + Bar. It's easily in my top 5 local places. I almost always stop in while at Hingetown. I very highly recommend it. Personally, I'd love to co-work here next time with breakfast, top notch coffee and surrounded by sunlight. read more

Patron Saint is such an aesthetic spot. Nice place to work remotely, very much coffee bar vibes. Unique menu :)

One of my favorite places in Cleveland! Super cute spot with Italian cafe vibes. The food is delicious, always blows me away. I especially love the chips and ricotta dip and the seasonal beans. The drinks are what keep me coming back -- spritzes in the summer and amaros in the winter, everything is made so well. And the staff is always so lovely! Highly highly recommend. Only wish they'd stay open later! read more

Upon entering Patron Saint you immediately notice the beautiful architecture. The walls and ceiling could tell stories. Not having been there I ask a woman at the bar for assistance. Staff brought us menus and we ordered using the QR code on the table. You pay your bill and tip before getting your meal or you can choose to run a tab. We both ordered a meal and a coffee/coffee drink. Each item in our order was delivered to the table at a different time. My husband was finished with his meal before mine arrived at the table. My drip coffee came out quickly but the latte came out after we finished our meals. We had some questions about the menu. There was staff in and out of the dining room, but it seemed they were moving quickly and not checking on tables. The menu directs you to go to the bar for a refill of coffee if you would like. The food was good. Portions were on the smaller side. They had a wine sale and retail area. Overall it was an ok experience. read more

The ambiance of this tiny spot on Detroit is quaint, modern, and stylish. It's classy without being stuffy, and perfect for a girl's meet up or an intimate date night. There is a lovely bar, but also table seating. Large windows, muted pastels and warm woods with worn floors make you feel like this spot has been here for 100 years. (And it probably has, just not as a cafe) We enjoyed delicious house specialty drinks, and the meat platter with the chicken sausage stuffed peppers. This is a good place for small plates. There are entrees and salads as well, but we just went for some starters. Will definitely be back! read more

What a gem! Needed to work outside the house and finally visited Patron Saint to sip and work on a Friday afternoon. The brothy beans and greens dish was absolutely delectable. Spring peas & radish was the perfect, fresh lemony accompaniment. We were wowed by the budino di novi for dessert. If you go to do some work, outlets are available at the bar and counter by the windows but not at the tables. read more

Like the Room of Requirement, Patron Saint is whatever you need it to be, when you need it. Morning coffee and pastry? Check. Brunch with the girls? Check. Office for the day? Check. Post-work (or pre-work) drink? Check and check. The entrance is easy to miss, and parking around the area (Hingetown) is also hit or miss depending on the time of day. But it's almost always bustling in here, and for good reason. First come, first serve seating anywhere you like - from booths, tables, window counter, or bar. There are outlets located at the bar and counter, if you intend to make this your camp for the day. None of the chairs are particularly comfy but the atmosphere is so charming that it's easy to forget. One of the waitstaff will magically appear and drop off a QR code, menu, and bottle of water in short order. I'm a fan of the virtual order and pay system, which allows everyone in a group to pay their tab separately without the nonsense of calculating off a shared receipt. But this can be confusing to those who haven't used it before. This also is preferable for me as someone who prefers to avoid situations where waiters ask how everything is when I've just started chewing my food, but others may be put off by the "lack of attentiveness". I've only had pleasant interactions with the staff! Okay, so the drinks: mostly positive, with a few acquired tastes. Think lots of citrus, greens, and bread. Even many of the specialty coffee and cocktail drinks have some form of citrus. I'm a fan of the regular coffee drinks and cocktails, but have not bought into the orange and coffee combination yet. Some of the food and pastry items do run out, and things rotate seasonally. Olive Oil Cake is ultimate comfort food. From the savory menu - things are on the pricier side. The Greens + Beans are delightful, Eggs in Purgatory is like a mini shakshuka, and salads are oh-so-fresh. There's only one single occupancy restroom, but it's conveniently located next to a small wares section where you can admire some of the most tastefully curated collection (visually at least) of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Other giftables include Patron Saint merch, greeting cards, and specialty spices and candles. read more

The place is amazing. The food is always exceptional and some seasonal options are always on the menu! Happy hour, wine nights, amazing service. I cannot say enough positive things.

You'll feel as if you have been teleported to a ITALIAN cafe when you step into this quaint cafe, close to the west side of Cleveland on the very outskirts of downtown. I visited Patron Saint Cafe in May 2023 before they opened because Harness Collective, who owns the building where Patron Saint is located, held a final fundraising event where participants could donate money and get a tour of Harness Cycle (spin studio), Soul Yoga, and Patron Saint. So, I got to see Patron Saint before the tables and chairs were put in and before it was painted. I visited again recently on a Saturday morning in October 2023 for a business meeting then again in early November in the afternoon to finish my work day there. I got to chat with the owner, Marie, when I visited alone in November and she is a joy to be around. AMBIANCE -- Inviting. I love the orange and gray ceiling colours. It's pretty noisy to work here on your laptop or even to read a book because the music is loud and was very loud when I visited around 3pm on a weekday afternoon. Nonetheless, it has a traditional cool and collected cafe vibe. FOOD -- I've tried their breakfast, a lunch item, and cake. During my business meeting in October, I ordered the Continental Breakfast ($12) -- focaccia, fruit, cured meat, and 8-minute soft boiled egg along with a cup of tea. The continental breakfast was delicious especially the focaccia bread. In early November 2023, I ordered the Roasted Squash $12 (delicata squash, lentil salad, burrata). I forgot this came with cheese which I don't really like so I removed the burrata from my plate. The lentils needed more flavour and seasoning but the squash tasted good. DRINKS -- I recommend the MOUNTAIN TEA ($5) which is a herbal tea with sage and mint and it was very refreshing. I don't drink COFFEE so I can't comment on that but they sell coffee. DESSERT -- The Olive Oil cake ($8) is OUT OF THIS WORLD good!! It's super sweet and delicious. It pairs perfectly with a hot cup of tea. It was too sweet to finish so I took about almost half back home with me. I took a photo of this cake but it did not attach directly to this review but you can still find it and view it here on Patron Saint's cafe Yelp business page. SERVICE -- Efficient and attentive. I highly recommend Patron Saint. It's a woman-owned local business that is new to town (opened in June 2023). This Italian-inspired cafe and Aperitivo Bar will definitely be the talk of the Hingetown / Ohio City neighbourhood for months to come. **** - 88/150 total reviews in 2023 - 639 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 December 2023 read more

Came for dinner, but probably better during the daylight hours. This space was beautifully converted from a 'tile showroom' to this quaint Italian style restaurant/cafe. The archways and high ceilings combined with the overall design give the traditional space a modern flair. They share the space with a cycle spin class on the other side of the building and a yoga studio. upstairs. They have a restroom available. Being on a ground floor makes for easy access for baby strollers to get through. There is only street parking available. No reservations accepted. It is walk-in only. Not sure if there is wifi, but someone was working on his laptop when we arrived. A server came by to notify us to scan the bar code and place an order on the app. She mentioned an apertivo menu that has a few small plates and drink specials. You also pay for the meal & tip via app. So, there is little interaction with the server. The app may be good for efficiency on a busy night, but it can be a bit awkward not having an actual server come by to explain the menu or answer any questions throughout dinner. We got up a few times to ask questions and request extra silverware. We tried all vegetarian options for dinner - including the roasted squash (good, but the lentils were bland and needed some seasoning), broccoli melt (surprisingly good - the sauce makes the sandwich), and chickpea piadina (good; sorta like a spanakopita, but made with pita bread and could have fresh mint?). The olive oil cake is phenomenal! That is a must order! The apertivo menu only has one vegetarian option, which is black pepper chips & a basic ricotta dip. So, we opted not to get that. Overall, decent food but could use a few enhancements. Serving sizes are on the smaller side. We ordered 2 broccoli melts between three people combined with the other items for dinner. Perhaps we could have gotten one more item to walk out stuffed. I prefer paper menus and more interaction with servers. The app was a little confusing to see if our order was placed and keeping track of what we ordered. Seated on the opposite side of the bar area, we felt a bit separated from serving staff and we weren't checked on as often as we normally would at other restaurants (especially considering it was a slow evening). I'd like to come back and try this place for a more casual breakfast/lunch experience. Definitely need to come back for another slice of the olive oil cake and try one of the lattes. read more

Overall a great spot to come to, especially after cycling! read more

This is such a cute European cafe/bar plopped in the middle of Cleveland! I loved the blended concept, where people could have coffee and get work done or hang out over drinks and small plates. I went for dinner & drinks one weekday evening and had a lovely time. You can order and start/pay your tab on your phone using the QR code at the table - very convenient. We had a couple aperitifs and shared a bunch of their dishes, including the fried oysters with cucumber, roasted carrots, ricotta cheese dip, green beans with tomatoes, and of course a generous slice of olive oil cake. Everything was delicious! Overall, the cafe had a bright and inviting energy. The wall of floor-to-ceiling windows brought so much light into the space too, which made it seem even bigger. The staff members were also all super friendly and personable. Street Parking is plentiful on Detroit (usually). Definitely recommend visiting Patron Saint for a quick work session (as long as you don't mind the noise and overhead music), coffee break, date night, or meeting up with a friend or two! read more

My favorite place to get work done in cleveland! Relaxing ambiance with ample seating, I love coming during the day and grabbing a caffeinated drink and a bite. They have a creative coffee menu with delicious all day bites. The eggs purgatory was amazing with a cheesy crusted bread, 10/10 would recommend. The best part is you can treat yourself to a spritz after finishing your work! They have contactless ordering system and the staff are super efficient and attentive, clearing away dishes shortly after they are done. Love the vibes read more

This place was so good that I decided to bring a friend soon after my first visit here, not even a full week apart, I ordered the same thing but perhaps the temperature made all the difference. The sauce was piping hot the first time and tasted so good. This time it was served closer to lukewarm and essentially like any old pizza sauce out of a jar. Might as well have had a jammy egg in a jar of ragu. Sad to say my experience wasn't consistent. Both times I came here were not that busy either. Parking was fairly easy to find and the latte was still excellent. read more

What a lovely ambiance, I wish there were more places with this vibe in Cleveland. I had an amazing brunch with my two friends, we ordered these small plates and shared. The coffee was delicious, the croissant with the pistachio and marmalade spread was quite unique, and I have no idea where they get their breads from but the bread was top notch. I do wish they offered more than one egg with the continental breakfast and more bread. It would have given the place a more generous yet still elegant vibe (nobody eats a single egg). I liked the idea of the farro salad, it had a lot of flavor but was lacking a citrusy lick. I would definitely go back! What a gem read more

Their other menu items looked delicious - I look forward to coming back! read more

Place is easy to miss but please make it a point not to! This place takes you to another world, rather another country. Felt like I was enjoying a Saturday morning at an Italian cafe. One of the first things I fell in love with was Negroni on tap! And at 10:30 in the morning, what an eye opener ! Blessed by the toast tab gods, I love the system here: seat yourself, order from the QR code and pay online. Soooo efficient and I think more businesses should adopt this system. Our drinks came out first, I started with a mint shakerato (espresso shaken with mint syrup and served on ice). Spectacular! My boy got the Negroni, a little bitter at first but tasted better as more was consumed. The olive oil cake was highly recommended on Yelp and didn't disappoint. The lemon crème topper with slices of fresh fruit meld well for moist pastry. The chickpea handheld filled me more than I thought it would. The dipping sauce really put the pocket over the top. The food was outstanding and definitely a unique alternative to the normal brunch fare. Parking is a "Everyman for himself" situation meaning street parking, but definitely worth the hype read more

What a beautiful space! The first thing you'll be struck by is the high ceilings and nicely refurbished tile around the space. The decor is stunning and so I'm sure most will be tempted to snap pictures of the interior for Insta. The food menu is delicious. I went with a colleague for breakfast and, while the options are few, the quality of the options is high. I got the parfait which came with a delicious compote and granola. My colleague got the continental breakfast which was basically an amazing charcuterie + cheese board with breakfast-y items. I also got the basilica pepe latte - which has basil syrup and black pepper in it. Yum! Beware that the portion sizes are fairly small, and so I recommend treating these more as "small plates" than full sized breakfast portions. As far as service, this it the only aspect I think Patron Saint has some kinks to work out in. We were presented with a QR code as an option for ordering. The Toast Tab UX I think has a bit of work to be done - it wasn't intuitively clear to me or my colleague how we could ensure our checks were processed separately. But it didn't seem there was a good way to tell the staff that we'd prefer not to order via the QR code. I wish there was a way to signal this, as I firmly exist in the camp that doesn't like to order on their phone. Why should I stare at my phone to begin a meal rather than chatting with my dining partner? Additionally, my parfait was served with a regular fork and knife, and I had to get someone's attention to get a spoon. These are minor things, but things I hope the team works out as they pass these first few months. I can't wait to be back to try the dinner menu + drinks read more

If you asked me to design my dream restaurant, it would be a lot like Patron Saint. The food is delicious, thoughtful, and fresh - everything on the menu sounds amazing. I had the Chef's Salad -- both very refined (beautifully balanced salt, fat, and acidity) while still playful and comforting (the roasted tomato and the crunchy croutons bring to mind a sub and slice shop) -- and the beautifully cooked Roasted Carrots -- absolutely scrumptious, and surprisingly summery thanks to the light sweetness and slight tang of the mascarpone and the light-handed cook on the carrots. For a drink I tried the Blueberry Jammer -- I wasn't familiar with Pasubio but it brought a beautifully blended bitterness to the sweet jam. I also totally unnecessarily had an Averna with tonic and lime that was a lovely end to the meal. The service is both super friendly/approachable AND very hands-off. I mean, be still my heart. You order through a QR code, and can keep your tab open as you wonder how many drinks is socially accessible at 2 in the afternoon. This sounds overzealous, but there's something empowering feeling about this kind of system - it allows you to order at your own pace, but also makes it fun to indulge in that... "oh ok maybe I will also have a cortado before I go" mindset. Most people had laptops and were working or reading and it felt like a place you go because you feel good in that place, and not just a setting for a culinary appointment. Can't recommend it enough -- I'm not from Cleveland, just stopping through on my way to NY, and I'm already planning on stopping again on my way back west to try more of the menu. read more

The cutest new spot and addition to the area! I love that it's both a cafe and a bar. And feels like you are transported to a cafe in Europe.

I have only tried the olive oil cake, which was delicious and not too sweet. The cocktails are also super creative and taste good.

Patron Saint Cafe + Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Patron Saints in Cleveland has won my heart with its delicious coffee and a delightful surprise in the form of olive oil cake. While the noise level was a bit high for doing work, I'm already planning my return to try their spritzes. Here's a breakdown of my experience: Coffee: The rich, smooth flavors and expertly crafted espresso-based beverages are a testament to their dedication to quality. Each sip was a caffeinated delight. Olive Oil Cake: Prepare your taste buds for a delicious surprise! Moist, fragrant, and bursting with flavor, it's a dessert that will leave you craving more. The subtle olive oil undertones and the perfect balance of sweetness make it an absolute must-try. Noise Level: The only drawback I experienced was the noise level at Patron Saints. During peak hours, the cafe can get quite loud, making it a little challenging to have a conversation without raising your voice. However, the vibrant atmosphere and bustling energy are also part of its charm. If you prefer a quieter setting, visiting during off-peak hours might be a better option. Aperol Spritz: Although I didn't get a chance to try it this time, the buzz around Patron Saints' Aperol Spritz is undeniable. Price: The prices at Patron Saints are fair for the quality of coffee and treats you receive. While it may be a tad higher than your average coffee shop, the superior taste and attention to detail make it worth the extra cost. Treat yourself to a special experience without breaking the bank. Overall, Patron Saints is an amazing addition to the Cleveland foodie scene. This new restaurant has a unique concept of cafe by day and classy bar by night. read more

Beautiful spot with huge windows, tall ceilings, and a great atmosphere. Come early to work and enjoy coffee or come later in the day for ~Aperitivo~ hour. We stopped by for a pre dinner drink. Cappelletti is my favorite Aperitivo, and if you haven't tried it I recommend ordering the Grapefruit Cappelletti Spritz or ask for a Negroni Spagliatto made with half cappelletti and half Campari - yum! Rather than order from a QR code we snagged a seat at the beautiful bar. It's nice to chat with the bar tenders and be able to discuss their preferences from the menu, which led to us ordering the savory roasted carrots and bright olive oil cake. read more

I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this amazing spot! My husband stopped in on a weekday for brunch. Fairly steady stream of folks working in laptops and having some perfectly crafted lattes or amazing breakfast this spot cooks up. Husband had the eggs in purgatory (very interesting play on it: sliced focaccia with an 8 minute egg perfectly cooked in a 4oz bell jar. Nice kick, but not overwhelmingly spicy. Would definitely eat again. I had the creamed kale quiche with buckwheat crust. When I tell you this is top 5 quiche I've ever eaten, not an exaggeration. The simple side salad w/italian dressing was a nice balance to the savory quiche. Shaken carajillo cocktail was very tasty (not sure where the source beans) and latte was delightful. Glass drinks ware for coffee a little too hot to handle immediately after latte was made. Our bartender was very kind, calm, and patient with us. Very attentive without being smothering; she knew exactly when to pop in. I always appreciate that in my restaurant/bar experience. Note that street and garage parking is available adjacent to this spot. Appreciate the charming arches in the bar and attempts to maintain some of its original character. Would definitely recommend and eat here again - hopefully SOON! read more

Hmmm... seems like we've been here before. Well, yes. And we will be here again... often. Normally I would not continually harp on the same experience in the same establishment every time I go. However, today we decided to try Patron Saint Cafe for lunch rather than breakfast. Once again I must tell you. If you haven't given them a try yet you are doing yourself a terrible injustice. I've told you before how much I enjoy the breakfast menu. Well "ditto" for the lunch menu. Upon entering we were greeted by the same smiling faces as usual. Such a pleasant place to be. We greeted Marie at the bar and told her we were excited about giving lunch a try today. I asked a few questions regarding the options available and with Marie's help we settled on a marvelous combination of flavors. My wife optioned for the "Pork Meatballs" served on polenta along with summer vegetables. I decided on the "Crudo" Albacore tuna with cucumbers, capers in tomato water. I also had the "marinated Castelvetrano Olives". Along with my order I had a marvelous glass of "Ercole" an Italian red... perfecto! I'm here to tell you I was whisked back to lunch on the piazza in Florence. The combination of flavors was absolutely exceptional. So light and refreshing... it was fabulous. The way the midday meal was meant to be eaten. As if that wasn't perfect enough I decided to take this experience to another level and see if they could keep it up. I went for an "Affogato" for dessert. A simple but extraordinary combination of flavors with pistachio ice cream covered in espresso. Oh my... I have no words. I was in heaven. Well, to say I am enamored with this establishment would be an understatement. Be good to yourself. Go... just go... enjoy life. read more

What a hidden gem on Detroit Shoreway! This is a bar/cafe/brunch location that does an amazing job with all three. Came here on a Saturday to get some work done, and I was absolutely blown away by the service here. Immediately we were given menus, which is in the form of a QR code. You order on your phone and pay for your tab, which I felt was an amazing use of technology. It allows the staff to focus on other parts of their job and I found that service did not falter with this. Drinks were fantastic and I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order here.

Cute new spot in Ohio City right on Detroit. Sat down at a table and a server greeted me and gave me menus and a QR code to order. Ordered at the table through the toast app, which was easy. Not much service from there, which was fine. I ordered the olive oil cake and a rise and shine. Both were delicious. Cake was moist and flavorful and the coffee was refreshing. I've never had a coffee with OJ in it and it was surprisingly nice. There's lots of tables, high tops and low, and they have a nice bar area as well. read more

Interesting without being pretentious. Highly, HIGHLY recommend. Street side parking. If there's a parking lot nearby, I was oblivious to it. It is west of Hingetown and directly across the street from the Bop Stop Interior is beautiful. Extremely clean. Self seat and use a QR reader to order(which was super easy and super easy to add more food). Staff was prompt with water and available to answer any questions. Both the coffee menu and cocktail menu were very creative. The food menu caters to all food lifestyles. We tried the $12 roasted carrots and it was worth every penny! Probably the most unique, tasty combination I've had in quite awhile. Who knew carrots could be sooo good! We also had the Continental Breakfast and shared the olive oil cake - both were properly executed and phenomenal. It was such an extraordinary experience. I look forward to spending more time here. read more

So good I went twice on my short trip to Cleveland! Patron Saint's food is delicious and reasonably priced! I ate the broccoli melt, crudo, chickpea piadina, and olive oil cake, and can recommend them all! Tasty and beautifully prepared. The drinks are fantastic! I tried the summer wine (a lightweight mulled wine spritz), apple aperol spritz, spaghett (a miller high life spritz! Surprisingly amazing), and the Negroni on tap (must-have!). The space and ambiance is perfect for morning, lunchtime, or evening. It's relaxed, airy, well-lit, and clean with great music playing lightly in the background.
