I turned up 2 minutes after opening for an early breakfast on a business trip and they were welcoming with a smile and very helpful! Gluten free toast no problem. Fast service, beautiful breakfast, cute and pleasant cafe. Would go again.

This is a gem in Albany Village. We discovered this Cafe while going for a walk. A busy place, but very good quality food. The best waffles and cream we ever tasted. The coffee is good too. We will go here again. Decent pricing too. Recommend this place if you're in Albany Village.
