"A cute little cafe with a good selection of pastries and brunch menu. It also has a small cabinet of cheese for purchase. The menu items mostly contain lovely cheeses. Good quality and fresh ingredients. I liked the croquettes with pear and walnut salad, and the gnocchi. Fair pricing. Weekend surcharge applies, but no card surcharge."
