We met Allison before we tried her restaurant, but we're glad we did both. An expat from Canada Allison is living her dream running a small cafe specializing in Breakfast, lunch and coffee breaks.

On a hot day, went in to check it out. I had a huge glass of the iced coffee. It was perfect. I also ordered a great meatball sandwich. The bread they had was so good. The atmosphere was mellow and not crowded. This is a great place for relaxing, eating and having a cup of coffee. More
