Crema's Take
“Le Petit Café proves that a grocery store counter setup doesn't have to feel cheap or rushed—their drip coffee is genuinely excellent and affordably priced, while the croissants and pastries are made fresh enough to justify a detour. It's the kind of unpretentious neighborhood spot where you can grab a legitimately good breakfast and linger over coffee without the fussiness of a full cafe, though fair warning that the small outdoor seating area is better as an idea than an experience.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

Drip coffee is awesome!!! Affordable too! Croissant is ok, a tad expensive for $5+. Very pleasant folks, outdoor dining seating area can be more pleasant..
