Crema's Take
“The Allis draws a devoted crowd for its leisurely weekend breakfast scene and genuinely excellent pasta dishes, though service can be frustratingly inconsistent—you might get impeccable attention one visit and indifference the next. Their specialty tea service doesn't justify the price tag, but the cozy atmosphere and solid coffee work well if you're willing to be flexible about timing and don't mind a potential wait.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly. Parking available.

This tea service is overpriced and, independent of price, just not that good. Go to the Russian tea room instead, order the savories and the scones - it’ll be Cheaper and better. The food: the sandwiches are ok but far too little. For your ~$80/person, you get three two-bite…
Came to the Allis on a weekday morning for a quick bite. It did not disappoint. Salmon platter and avocado toast with poached egg were both absolutely delicious. On a weekday morning the shop it self was quite quiet, with only one other person, but we did come early and it did…
