The food was excellent, the service was fast and friendly. We got four sandwiches and two soups and everything was delicious. Half a star off for the size of the soups, they were on the small side. Another half star off for the price, it seemed a little on the expensive side.

Lovely warm little cafe to come in from the cold for coffee and a bite to eat. They also have some items from local artisans for sale as well as frozen soups pies, etc to take home.

Just finished lunch there; the service was quick and my veggie wrap and soup were both extremely flavorful. I liked the simplicity..a few really well put together choice meals. Nice place :)

Decent food and service, but very expensive for what you get.
$9.50 for the chicken focaccia, which is basically like a single piece of pizza plus a small side salad. I would look elsewhere if you're searching for brunch/lunch. No experience with their catering services.
