I love this place! The people and service are great. The atmosphere is great. The food/drinks are great. I would come here all the time if I didn't live in a different city.

Not sure how i just found out about this place and it is easy to drive by and miss. Great atmosphere, little area that feels like your livingroom, books there to read. The food was great and service was great. On top, it is supporting so many causes, women that need work experience, they have fallen on bad times, maybe made a few decisions they need to recover from. It supports counseling and living situations, they just started a food bank. They help with clothing and shoes, through their thrift store. How can i not support a place like this and i get great food for doing it!

Cafe' for a cause. Great coffee but that is just the tip of the iceberg, as they say. World class deli serving Boars Head meats and cheeses and New York style hot dogs. And they do an authentic Ruben, too. You can just stop in for desert or a slice of homemade cake.
