Fine dining at very reasonable prices. Their staff is amazing. Taking into account the atmosphere, service, food flavors and presentation, I expected to pay more. For an appetizer, 2 entrees, desert, 3 glasses of wine and an after dinner glass of port, the total was shy of 100 euros.

This bagel beat out every other i've had, new york included. The mini fry was also awesome. loved th white pudding and hash and bacon and all of it! not pictured but the waffles are real good too! not as jawdropping but a good belgian waffle nonetheless. But go with the bagel or the fry. It'll change you. Every morning i drank a whole tea and it was always incredible. Strongly recommend this place to any and every traveler. Great atmosphere, music selection, kind staff, and wonderful rooms if you're staying overnight. :)

Fabulous hidden gem of a place serving delicious cakes & specialty coffee. Worth the trip for the…read morelaid back hospitality and yummy goodies. There are loads of choices for coffee, come prepared to have more than one coffee to compare. The coffee bar in the light filled conservatory is amazing with all the machinery sunken below the counter so you can watch exactly how the barista makes the drinks. It's perfect for sitting at and enjoying the smells and sounds of beans being freshly roasted right beside you. Highly recommend sneaking away on a weekday and spending a morning here enjoying the stunning views, specialty coffee and laid back charm. You can pick up a bag or two to take home and remember your trip by!

It's popular and oftentimes there is a line to get a table. The staff does their best to seat guests as soon as possible. Note the closing time of 8pm is firm, so be sure to arrive before that. Staff is kind but due to the busyness of the restaurant, service can be scattered or slow, so remember, you're on vacation. Wine and beer available. Parking can be difficult in the area. Allow time to find parking, if you're driving.

A lady working there gave my husband a rude lecture about how Americanos are made with boiling water, no apology, no kindness. We know that.

If you go there please be aware that the way they don't put the lids on drinks properly and you may be injured. I get that accidents happen but saying sorry and being decent go a long way.
