“Great Feel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

Located right on Lincoln Road. Great atmosphere in restaurant. Lincoln Road a little rough for children and elderly, but charming.

“Complete tourist trap... don't make the mistake”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

Went for Sunday morning breakfast.... still not really clean from night before! Staff looked hung over and more interested in swapping stories and gossip in the bar than helping us (waited for 10 min after getting food for ketchup!? Had to ask two people)

Food portions are average, presentation sucked... no garnish... menu diversity is great but everything is done sub par... (we had a range of food from waffles, to omlettes, to crepes, muffins... nothing sucked but NOTHING impressed).... We should have known better. Don't make the same mistake.

“Fun Lunch Spot on Lincoln Road”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013

Stopped here for lunch while shopping on Lincoln Road. Great atmosphere and outdoor seating. Terrific people watching spot. Interesting, "diner-like" menu with tons of options for all day breakfast to sandwiches to more expensive entrees. Food was very good and our server helped dispel the SoBe reputation of horrible service. Can't go wrong having lunch here. Enjoy!

“A place to have an informal and light breakfast or lunch”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013 via mobile

There are many good restaurants on Lincoln Rd and this one is not exactly one of the best although I am not saying is bad. I will say is an average to good place to eat.
Menu is American style and not really nothing to remember.

“So close..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

We just don't visit a Cafe and expect a Mediterranean style meal, there are plenty of restaurants nearby for that. Anyway this is a cafe and I will rate it as such. A great spot for coffee and desert. They also feature a live band which can also be heard via speakers for those who choose to sit al fresco. They also have a full bar...great ambiance
