Crema's Take
“This cash-only diner hybrid serves surprisingly solid comfort food—think tuna sandwiches on rye and panini—at reasonable prices, making it a reliable refuge for hospital visitors and neighborhood regulars who don't mind the retro setup and payment friction. The service is genuinely warm and quick, though you'll want to hit their ATM before ordering since they don't take cards, and be aware the grill sometimes closes earlier than expected. It's the kind of place that's been slowly improving for decades and works best if you're in the area with time to linger over coffee.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Went back in 2018. MUCH Improved from 1989-90. They used to have a limited menu, and Rude, "other-abled" Employees. They have also enlarged it.
Nice coffee shop diner. Was hungry for cheeseburger and sweet potatoes fries. It was good. They make good panini too. Good service. My only complaint is the seating for single around the counter is not comfortable. Not enough leg space. I am a bit large and tall so my legs need…
I come here ever so often when visiting a patient. I must say that the food here is really good and reasonable in price. Waitstaff is friendly and service is quick. The only issue is that it is cash only.
