Jena Marion: Had lemon pancakes with mango sauce and it was delicious. Light and sweet, it was the perfect Sunday breakfast.
BlackBook Magazine: It's got charm, an outdoor patio, fluffy lemon pancakes, and a long window display full of chocolate desserts. Great for the morning before the inauguration. And maybe the morning after. Read more.
Brianna Patel: Baked chocolate mousse with coffee ice cream is on point. Emperor pancake is better for 2 people and a good non-sweet dessert. Coffee was great. Apple strudel was great too
