Great little place. It looks like a drive up only but we walked up & they do have some outdoor seating. Decent coffee, quick service, super-friendly staff, and even the quick-heat breakfast burritos were pretty good! (I had the green chile.) And you can't beat the prices. If I lived in the area this would probably be my regular morning pick-me-up :)

Fantastic caffe’. Quick , easy and best of all delicious. Coffee , espresso, macchiato and cappuccino are the best. The croissants - cornetti - are amazing. Cornetti with chocolate , cream and almonds. I couldn’t resist to get more than one to take home for the family. The owner is Italian!! ????????
