Crema's Take

“Lydia's Cafe draws a devoted crowd for live jazz nights paired with genuinely excellent breakfast and dinner, thanks to Mark's warm hospitality and a kitchen that doesn't cut corners on either the food or the atmosphere. Whether you're catching a world-class musician over eggs and pastries on a quiet weekday or making an event of it on a Saturday night, this place feels like a gathering spot run by people who actually care about their regulars. The outdoor seating and reliable parking make it easy to linger, which is exactly what this cafe seems designed for.”

We had a great night Saturday for dinner and jazz here. The service was impeccable and the owner and his wife were nothing but accommodating and kind. We chatted for a while with them while we enjoyed the music and our delicious meal. Excellent jazz band that night. We loved it!
