Just had another great lunch at this great little coffee shop, a true hidden gem. I enjoyed the beef burger with chips. I can't wait to come back and sample other items on the menu.

Nicest chicken and mushroom fettuccine I have had for a long time. Individually made on the spot. Delicious come and try it. They are also planing to open for evening takeout.

Glenview's hidden treasure! We were extremely impressed. Delicious food, fabulous customer service and an extremely clean restaurant area. Loved the decor. We will be regulars now. Only gutted we didn't try it sooner!

I’ve honestly not given this place a chance for years because the mall looks a little dingy, but I’m regretting that choice now! The team there were so lovely and friendly. My coffee was DELICIOUS, I ordered a short black which if done wrong can be pretty rough and it was excellent! The food was super fresh and delicious - I had the pasta. This is going to be my new regular!
