I had their Loaded Panini with turkey, spinach, and no cheese. It was really good! Because they make it fresh it took 15 - 20 minutes to prepare but it was worth the wait. I’m definitely coming again and highly recommend checking this place out.

Today we ordered for the first time at lunch. The turkey spinach wraps were fresh and delicious and very generous portion. The chocolate chip cookies were yummy. We also had a pineapple smooth. I had a taste and it was very good. Can’t wait to go back. Great local cafe and bakery.

The food is made to order and very fresh. I got the loaded Turkey panini which was delicious and good quality. The chocolate chip cookie was just okay. There was a longer wait, about 30 minutes, so they gave me a free (and refreshing) lemonade. I would definitely recommend

I will def be a returning customer! The customer service was great. They took the time to answer my questions since it was my first time. I got the pineapple & mango smoothie and it was delicious. You can taste the freshness. I also got a wrap & I could taste the quality. To top it off, I love that it is black owned!

Ordered lunch from here this past week and the food was delicious. Chef Serenity and her family are great - friendly and welcoming. My family had turkey wraps, chocolate chip cookies (a must try) and a pineapple smoothie - we'd recommend it all.

Serenity is a gem! She welcomed my friend and I with big smile as soon as we hit the door. She explained in detail about the food and where it's sourced from. I ordered the loaded panini with a cheese danish. Everything is fresh and delicious. The prices are reasonable too. Definitely worth the trip.

My best friend and I were walking back home and we stopped in and place an order. Large chicken and rice soup is perfect after a 4K walk. All I can say this is delicious and healthy. See u tomorrow for a donut muffin. I’m curious how that tastes. great place clean and the scent from the food amazing
