It's a good place. Reasonable prices. Their iced coffee is reliable. The acai bowls seem popular, so they must be doing something right with that. Kombucha is available on tap. They carry the usual pastry-type fare, like croissants and such. Decent selection of teas, and of course the expected coffee drinks. WiFi for the laptop crowd and a decent-sized patio. Also, there's a frequent customer program that rewards loyalty with free drinks.

Good coffee, really friendly staff and the terrace is really something. My wife and I, used to love to come to this coffeehouse every morning before work, have a nice cup of cappuccino and chill in the terrace. The name come from one of the best coffeehouse in Rome.

Friendly staff, good coffee selection, chai tea is great and if you add a shot of espresso is even better, their desserts are delish and the ambiance is relaxing and call. Love it first time for myself wife and I. We'll be back.

I wish we had taken pictures of the foam on our latte because it was so perfect but I had to at least review this place. Very cool place with quality ingredients, from wine to meats and cheeses but we were in for the coffee. We both ordered a latte and be aware this is not your walk into Starbucks and ordered a flavored latte type of place. The latte is straight espresso topped with foam. This has to be the best latte I've ever had in my life so far. The barrista did an amazing job on making something that is usually so bitter but was perfectly nutty and had a perfect fluff foam.
