“ Came for a quick drink before a meeting, quick service and greeted by an amicable staff. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Ambiance was cozy and no loud music as some cafes have. Pastries for sale as well. I bought a chai tea latte, nothing special but was good, hit the spot. Clean, eatablishment. ”
“ Came here during intermission at Mountain View Performing Arts Center. Best intermission cafe anywhere! Wow! ”
“ Great Pumpkin crumble and lemon tart, the sweetness pairs wonderfully with their latte. Looking forward to trying their other selections. Wonderfully peaceful cafe, and a good place to sit down to do some work or enjoy a book outside of the house. The manager here is very nice, wonderful service. ”
“ 5 stars for all the seating options. Indoor interior is peaceful, outdoor has a lot of variety in seating options. Free MV wifi, food is decent. Good place to chill if you need wifi. ”
“ Actually a hidden find for a quiet place to work and have a cup of coffee. More food options than a typical coffee shop. Bit of a hidden gem. ”
“ Great coffee! Got an iced latte with almond milk & sugar free vanilla syrup. I gave the food 4 stars just because the croissants I got weren’t fresh, but they also weren’t bad! ”
“ I really love the atmosphere of this place, located right in the performing arts building at the mountain view downtown, perfect for getting food during a performance or even just on a stroll. There are also so many options, not just sweet stuff, I recommend the beef empanadas (best I've had)! ”
“ Really nice and cozy place, especially for a weekend coffee and/or brunch. Ample space for children to play and ample outdoor seating. Park, library and downtown shopping also near by. Of course, also great for intermissions during shows. ”
