Gorgeous little cafe with surprisingly good food. One of the best marinara dishes we have had for a very reasonable price. Great coffee, friendly staff and clean amenities. Indoor and outdoor seating. Recommend.

Little cafe and big hearts of the staff.A cheerful smile welcomed us in and the staff were helpful in accommodating our requests ( we had 2 kids and their meals were adapted from the menu). The chef was helpful in giving us suggestions and the service was prompt.Food was great, seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection.Definitely would recommend to anyone in town.
