This coffee shop is nice. There is usually a line at this place. On the warm side, the cappuccino was not bad. It is still worth a shot. It’s fine. There is a line out the door. The coffee and tea were average to above average. Pie crust was used to make the quiches. Overall, not bad. It is a cute little place.

Excellent service and even better pastries! We ordered one of the things we walked in for. It was very difficult to choose only 1. Everything I tried was very good. A fresh loaf of apricot bread was delivered to us. We got a cappuccino muffin, original croissants, cherry and cheese pastry, chocolate rolled pastry, raspberries and cream croissant, and a chocolate and cheese danish. It’s all to die for! You can sit and order even though we took out.

The cafe is bright with inside and outside seating. A barista made a delicious espresso and ice cream. Excellent afternoon treat. There are many ice cream and gelatos to choose from. On our bike ride, the outdoor seating was a great spot to relax. It was delicious! It was a great service. Definitely recommend the Affogato.
