Had the spaghetti and meatballs on a couple of occasions, nice and tasty, and not overly expensive like at a fancy Italian restaurant. Will also go for the $3 house red wine.
Brian StraussApril 4, 2016A lot of nice old school cafe ambiance and the food (Italian, pastries, and salads) is adequate for a nice cafe lunch. Coffee was decent and hot.
Aaron BoboAugust 19, 2015Great atmosphere for a post dinner tea on Piedmont ave to relax after a meal. Staff is nice, great people watching if you sit by the windows
The breakfast sandwiches are much more delicious than comparable sandwiches at other cafes. Quality bacon, buttered bagels, and a pickle on the side!
Russell LAugust 1, 2015The coffee is good but I have seen them pre-grind the beans and leave it in the dispenser for a while rather than grind per-order. Still, you probably won't notice.
Tony JelkeJuly 1, 2012Try the Old Speckled Hen on draft. So refreshing to see a true English ale here on Piedmont!
Buy a pound of their Espresso Roast beans and grind em for your daily pot at home!
The egg, jack and bacon may be the greatest breakfast sandwich ever.
Loved their poached eggs and bacon. They give me lettuce instead of toast. Makes the Paleo girl happy.
Roque MozingoJanuary 27, 2014Happy hour $8 Custom Panini with beer or wine. Sunday to Thursday 3pm to close.
Prosciutto Pizza tha bomb. Order it. Great spot, Rucchi is the bomb barrista too.
Max NelsonMarch 14, 2012Sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with grilled onions and chipotle mayo.Trust me.
Old school guitar and clarinet jazz on Tuesday nights, by Stafford and Sturdevant.
- Best spaghetti marinara with meatballs in town!
The Margharita salad is delicious, but too large for the plate.
One of very few places in the area to carry the coveted Chemex coffee urns and filters.
