Considering it’s a cafe that serves coffee, they need to learn to make coffee. It was so weak that it tasted like water. Other that that it was ok. Service was fine. The pastries were ok and I will not be going back because they don’t know how to make coffee.

Lovely neighborhood space on beautiful historic Venice Avenue serving the most delicious looking iced pastries. Specialities seem to be scones with a big variety - cinnamon toffee caught my eye. Outdoor and indoor dining and they have a breakfast menu! More than just a bakery! Iced coffee was very good. Iced coffee, scone, muffin and banana French toast was 20. Delicious and reasonable!

After reviewing their website I was so excited for our first visit. When we walked in we were not greeted, just questioned if we wanted to be seated. I ordered a waffle and it came almost cold. I asked for butter and when I spread it on the waffle it never melted. We both ordered sausage patties and they were hard and difficult to cut. When we left we were wished a nice day. I expected so much more. The bakery was sparsely stocked. Not like the photos on the website. I'll be looking for somewhere else to go for breakfast.

I was visiting a friend who lives in Venice and she knows I love breakfast. I ordered the cheese danish and it was delicious. The quiche was very good and my friend ordered the eggs benedict. We enjoyed our visit and our server was very nice. I would definitely return for more bakery goodies!!!

Excellent place for breakfast in Venice. Great menu. Excellent food. Friendly service. I had French toast and home fries. She had eggs, turkey bacon and toast. We'll be back!

They have long waits on Sundays but they work quickly to get you seated and food ordered. Our food came out together. It was served with love and a smile by Maledy. She was absolutely beautiful inside and out. We enjoyed ourselves.Visiting.

The food and atmosphere are excellent. We love the scones, but several times we came to purchase them they were sold out. Today we decided to eat breakfast there, but before hand my wife was standing in the takeout line to buy some scones, she was really looking forward to getting some to take home. A waitress came out of nowhere and told my wife to get out of line, she had to order them with her breakfast. I never heard of such a thing. My wife was so embarrassed. In an effort to make my wife feel better.I got in the takeout line to buy some scones for takeout.The same waitress came up to me and tried to tell me to get out of line. The waitress was not nice about it At all. Very loud, and extremely rude. I know it’s hard to find people to work, but that’s a terrible way to treat customers

One of the best places for a great cup of Cappuccino, a scone and side order of their breakfast potatoes.. The outdoor seating is great is very small, but that's what we enjoy the most. You'll love the food and service..

Jus had a bowl of the most delicious homemade soup which you don't get nowadays, also had a chicken honey mustard sandwich , hands down the Best breakfast and lunch place in Venice . And did I mention the chocolate espresso cookie say more. Can't wait to return.

Very busy but food and service were not good. My Philly Cheese Steak on a Hoagy was cold and dried up. No follow up by wait person to check on us. Bills arrived in a PILE so we had to sort through them ourselves to find our own one. Parking was very hard to find.
