Love the Bombolini and their espresso machine. It's very clean and well kept. It's a place for a lot of the older generation to come and meet their friends as well.

Love that they are open late, there are no other cafes anywhere in the area that are open past 9pm, and this place is open until 11! Great coffee, tasty pastries, and the music is not too loud so you can actually have a conversation.

We had really good time catching up with friends, playing cards, taking coffee, beer, panini and dessert. Staff is really friendly, bathrooms are clean and the women one very beautiful. Big TV in the back for sport events. Much better than expected.

Great place to fill in any sweet tooth cravings. Seems like a lively place to come to when sports are being played on multiple screens. An outdoor patio is also available during warmer weathers. Overall, solid place.
