    Must order their house-made croissants. Fresh, warm, buttery and flaky. Great for weekend brunch, food is fresh and delicious and you won't have to wait. Also appreciate kind & attentive service.

    Wednesday paella is a must - a big pan with seasonal offerings that feeds 2-3, plus a bottle of wine, for ~$40. Get some roasted cauliflower while you wait for the paella.

    The dining room at Cafe Aion is cozy and quaint. Wooden tables, a hand-built bar and a Moroccan blue accent wall adorned with black-and-white photos. Read full review at dailycamera.com Read more

    The staff’s knowledge and craft seems to trickle from the top down, and everyone behaves as if they have a personal stake in both presentation and taste. Recommended: Moroccan spiced pork. Read more

    French press coffee, best homemade croissants with unreal homemade jelly. Nicest folks serve you and have conversation.

    Staff and decor are fantastic but the food is the worst. Nothing but small plates of burnt deep-fried vegetables.
