Advice: No reservations, walkins welcome, check website for hours.

A beautiful café that is filled with art in the form of portraits adorns the café walls at this family run gem in the heart of the Westend. You will often find mother in the kitchen, son running front of house and the father painting more portraits and such.

I have tried a few treats over a couple of visits since opening which includes their house-made Turkish Coffee which is made in the traditional Turkish way. I have also tried their delicious Cream Puffs along with some of their baking which includes the Spinach Spankopita, Cheese Phylo Swirl, and the Carrot Walnut Loaf. In addition to the Turkish Coffee which you can watch being made is their cream puff filling station where you can choose vanilla or chocolate filling as well as the various toppings.

The café also features a full line of espresso beverages featuring Pallet Coffee, along with a selection of brunch dishes served throughout the day.

I am looking forward to visiting again to try some of their brunch dishes at this gem and you should too.
