Saw that the reviews of this restaurant are pretty good so we decided to give a try today. I already had brunch so I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk to go. It ended up to be the worst matcha latte I’ve ever had! It’s just water with matcha powder, no, actually, even worse than that, it’s water with undissolved matcha powder, which makes your throat very uncomfortable. I hate to waste food but I had to throw it away! And its $6.42!! See the picture. Would anyone call this a matcha latte? I don’t know why there are many good reviews but I would not recommend it to anyone and will never return.

Love this place! Beautiful atmosphere (indoor dining, outdoor dining in season), delicious food- amazing crepes and desserts. I love the afternoon tea lunch aspect. Beautiful presentation! Staff is friendly and attentive! And if you are inspired to buy a Tshirt they are the softest most comfortable shirt you will ever wear! Again, I love this place!

I had the ham and Brie panini with the lobster bisque. My better half had the ratatouille panini with the chicken and beans soup. Both meals were delicious. Next came the scone with cream and mixed berries very nice, along with fresh pressed decaf coffee. Sorry scone went fast and I failed to photograph it. Great meal and service.

This place has always been fantastic, but haven't been since the start of the pandemic and expected a slight decline in service and food quality as most restaurants have. NOT HERE! The most wonderful, delicious food. Everything was piping hot, served quickly and generous portions. The only thing better than the food was the service. Jilian- keep doing what you are doing. Your smile was warm even under your mask. Exceptionally attentive and conversational. We will be back soon :)

Questions & Answers

Is this a good place to work with a laptop?

Yes. I would. Big booths with tall backs for privacy. Can get pretty busy.

Does this place sell gift baskets or anything of the sort for holidays? I know this is a weird question. But my grandmother heard about this place and how great it is. But she's 83 and she cant leave her home. So I wanted to bring it to her.

Yes, I agree with previous response. You can put together a bunch of things together, maybe like some sample size teas, strainers, etc in like a mug or tea pot. They were very helpful when I got a bunch of gifts for my son and his girlfriend! I even ordered online and had them mail packages to him Great gifts!
