Nice European style coffee shop
Not very hospitable. Owner is tyrant.
This is one of my favorite places to go for coffee in town. Mira makes the best espresso and has somehow memorized the orders of all her "regulars." I go simple, espresso with a dash of cream - and usually share a pastry with a friend or have a light lunch (soups in the winter, salads or wraps in the summer). The brunch is also a fantastic choice - simple poached eggs with crispy bacon and delicious grilled bread. This is a European style café and I absolutely love it. Highly recommend.
Worst service ever .totally rude employees
Extremely rude and unprofessional to strangers. Would NOT recommend.
Cozy spot to sit back and relax
This place is wonderful. Can’t imagine anyone giving this place.less than 5 stars…. But then again there are people whole just can’t ever be pleased. Food and service is incredible. Everything is good.
I was there when 2 men were visiting the area and town and decided to take some pictures outside . They were told they couldn't. Who are you to tell anyone what they can or can't do in a public area ? You don't make the rules or tell people instructions. Shame on you
Ridiculous behavior from the owner.
Tourists take caution walking by this location with a camera the owner will come out and accost you.
Super cute place
Had their split pea soup. It had the consistency of water flavored like split pea. I wonder where they got the recipe from.
Split pea soups my favorite. Thank you.
Great cafe on El Paseo! Have been coming here for years. Beautifully presented bakery! Love the delicious pastries which have a true European flair!! Had lunch today, food was great and service quick and efficient !! Plan on returning more often for the yummy pastries!!!
This place is a MUST if you are in the area! Pure Magic and Deliciousness!!
Authentic Italian cafe with very good coffee drinks and a big selection of pastries, tasting as good as they looked. The owner was really nice and friendly. Glad we stopped by while in town. Would definitely come back again.
Starbucks style coffee. Expensive.
A wonderful European style cafe right here in the desert. The menu is simple, delicious and everything is made from scratch. The cappuccino is better than probably most places in Italy for that matter. Yes, it is European (the owner is from Europe), so don’t expect the typical over-sweetened, mass-produced fare common to corporate places. They will take good care of you here, but they won’t cater to unpleasantries… which is refreshing and makes for a peaceful retreat from the outside world. Sidewalk tables are great for chilling and enjoying a bit of people-watching, and it’s very common for complete strangers to not remain strangers here.
I. Town for the weekend and wanted to walk up and down El Paseo drive. I felt like having a cappuccino and stopped in with my friend. I ordered a cappuccino, a chocolate chip cookie and three pastries to go as they looked amazing. $44 later we left and I was thinking for $44 this cappuccino and cakes better be phenomenal! Well sadly they were not. I ordered a lemon tart, apple tart and raspberry cake. I was told they were all “fresh!” Not likely. We got home and the raspberry cake may have had fresh raspberries at one time but I don’t know when that was as the icing came apart from the dry cake and the filling was bland, jam would have more flavor. The lemon tart was so dry it came apart and I have no idea what was on the inside but it looked disgusting. The slight lemon flavor was detectable but barely. My apologies for my unfriendly tone but this was sinfully bad. The apple tart was like biting into a sugar cube I had to spit it out. I am so disappointed with this experience and lastly the cappuccino was ok. A little sting in the coffee side and not enough foam but it was palatable.
Delightful restaurant! Amazing food and coffee.
