Review


From the moment we entered all the way to our departure, we felt like we were at a friend's or family member's home. It was such a welcoming environment. The owner is so cheery and the cafe scene is so calming and welcoming as well. There are plants everywhere, a wall of tea sets, the walls are light green, and the tables were made of solid wood. I love this place!

This is a family owned cafe. We got to immediately meet the owner - a single mom, and one out of her two sons named Michael. This is definitely a dedicated gluten-free facility. The owner told us her history and how she started. She shared some family stories and she was just an overall awesome person!

I ordered the Caprese Panini and Grilled Cheese Panini to share with my 15-yr old son. The bread is made from scratch and there was soooo much cheese!!! We loved it!!! My partner in crime ordered The Italian Panini and The Great Habino Panini for himself. He said it tasted fantastic!! Each Panini plate came with potato chips and a big halved pickle. Pineapple Coleslaw was served as a side. My son and I didn't get to taste it, but my partner said it was delicious! My son doesn't eat pineapples and I don't eat coleslaw, lol.

We chose a lot of baked-goods to go in the very beginning. My son lacks a sweet tooth so he chose a sugar cookie. It was so soft and crumbly - he ate every single crumb, so he enjoyed it very much. I ate the Key Lime Cake with Pineapple Glaze, it was so soft and so delicious!!! I then tried the Monster cookie an hour later - it was good. I still have the Maple doughnut, the Cookies and Crème doughnut, and the Cinnamon Roll cake left to try. I will be tasting it tomorrow.

My partner ate the Maple doughnut and said it was delicious, then immediately after had the Key Lime Cake with Pineapple Glaze and said it had maple, lol. He is not great at differing foods when he eats one after the other.

Towards the end, I took pictures of my partner and son with the owner and she gave me a hug. She wanted to see us every week, lol, but I told her probably monthly. But, who knows, we probably will.
