    A dainty little cafe in the local area! The decorations match the retro theme, but there could be more to help bring out the theme. I got an iced flower power, but the lavender flavor was lacking. The latte was still good though. I also got a house made broccoli cheddar soup, which was warming and flavorful. Plus, there's parking near it!!

    Sourdough avocado toast with bacon.

    The avocado toast with bacon was delish! The bacon is nice and crispy bits on top. Barista Liz (she is amazing) recommended the Honey white chocolate latte- smooth and creamy deliciousness. The food menu offers-- protein balls, muffins, toasts, egg sandwiches, bagels. Service was prompt and friendly, atmosphere inside is roomy and comfy. Great stop on your way around town!

    My boyfriend and I were on A Tuesday in February. We were hoping to get to the on and on across the way, but they were closed. We did not have coffee but had their Turkey/Cheddar/Avocado sandwich with Tomato soup. The soup was delicious! We liked the sandwich but felt it could have been hotter and melted cheese. All in all a great service, cool vibe. We will be back!

    Great little shop. I taste tested cappuccino from here vs Zummos. Retro won, hands down!! Coffee is rich, dark and hot. They had a nice selection of soups and sandwiches (panini).

    Excellent brunch at Mansour's. Looking for a local, chic, relaxing place for brunch? We thought…read morethis place was spot on. We looked at a few different options for places to eat and thought this one would be nice for a sit down discussion. We got there around 10 AM and a few patrons were scattered about. Quite a variety of different places to sit, we sat at a table for two near the bar. Handed a breakfast/lunch menu so many things looked so good. We weren't sure what to go with so we asked for some of their favorites. We were offered suggestions on the avocado toast and the poppy. I went with the avocado toast. As always, I bagged the onion and kept all the other ingredients which included avocado spread, spinach, tomato, sunflower seeds, and an egg over easy. You have a choice of toast, including white, wheat, or rye. Gotta go with wheat! Absolutely a terrific place to go to and support the local community and get everything you'd want and one of those chain type coffee shops (you know the green one I'm talking about) and get a much more natural, even lower cost option

    I wanted to like it here more than we did because it's local, small, in a great location in a…read morehistoric building, and the service was very friendly and fast. However, the food left a lot to be desired. We ordered the quiche and the avocado toast with a side of potatoes. Potatoes were burned, well, charred really. They did take them off the bill. Quiche was so so, and the avocado toast had a ton of raw spinach on it, which was hard to eat along with the toast. Should have come steamed or sautéed instead. Bacon was good though! I was very excited about the pastry case at first since everything in there looked fresh and home made, but when I was trying to decide what to get "to go", like one of their muffins, I saw flies buzzing around and landing on the items. No thank you. I know flies are around in the summer, but the pastry case should be shielded from bugs at all times. I think if I were in the area I may give this place another chance since I liked other things about it like the atmosphere and the fact that it did look like a local family favorite.

I ordered breakfast here for us and took it back to our hotel. The food was good, and quite filling. My omelet was good and the house potatoes were a great accompaniment. My bebe got blueberry pancakes, a first for her, and she was thrilled. Service was good, even though we didn't eat in. After I'd gotten into the car but before leaving I realized that one of the meals was supposed to come with a coffee, and when I went in and explained to the server she got it for me after waiting a couple minutes to ask the other server, who'd taken the order. The place looks comfortable inside. The parking lot seems quite large to me, but I'm not sure what it looks like on busy days. I stopped here on a Friday morning and there was hardly anyone here, but they have a sign about only having one person in the party come in on busy days so it must get packed on the weekends. Enjoy!

They have a large room addition off the back which is where we sat. Service was good. The food came out quickly. I had the veggie frittata which was a special. It was good and filling. I couldn't finish it all. The potatoes were very good. I added green pepper and onion. The rye toast was delicious!! They have fresh brewed ice tea. The food was good but not amazing! Prices were very reasonable.
