So relaxing! The coffee is amazing, dessert crepes are full of flavor, and the view from any table outside is an experience in itself. We can hear on a lunch date on a weekday and it was really quiet. I had the Avocado Salad and my husband really enjoyed the Philly Cheesteak Sandwich. You’ve also got to try the lavender lemonade! 💜💜💜
Visited this new establishment with my wife for dinner last week. We had heard great things about the food and it did not disappoint! Food and service were fantastic, I can recommend the pork crepes as they were very tasty; I’d never had a savory crepe before and this dish blew my mind. We finished off our meal with some gelato. Overall a great addition to downtown, we will be eating here again!
Loved this place! Very delicious and great atmosphere, we felt very welcomed. Kevin and Megan were very sweet for our first time trying authentic Polish food.
Great food, excellent service and very nice atmosphere. It feels like we’re served by a big family.
Love this place, worm home atmosphere. Food is delicious, so tasty, reasonable prices and great service! Definitely recommend!
This was my first visit here and definitely will not be my last! I am a burger and fries guy who's married to a 100% Polish woman for 22 years, so I have been around a lot of different Polish foods. Some I eat and some I don't but I understand and know what goes into making these authentic dishes. I have to say they really hit the mark! The staff was super friendly and informative, thank you Olivia! The decor and atmosphere is amazing. Can't wait to come back when the weather warms up to experience the patio vibes!
Amazing food and great service! Everything we ordered was amazing especially the mushroom soup! Karolina, our waitress was super nice and attentive. We are looking forward to stop by again soon. Na zdrowie i dziekujemy!
The veggie crepe was absolutely delightful and far better than I expected. Every bite was flavorful, and the ingredients blended beautifully. The paczki was soft, airy, and perfectly fresh. I really enjoyed everything and can’t wait to visit again soon!
In one word: amazing. Thank you for turning something so simple into something truly exquisite. Only a genuine love for the craft can achieve such a perfect balance, not just in presentation, but in the way each flavor came together in harmony. What could have been just a salad became a memorable experience, refined, thoughtful, and quietly extraordinary. A place I’ll keep returning to, every time I find myself passing by.
We enjoyed a great lunch here! The pierogis were absolutely delicious, we got mushroom & sauerkraut and the potato & cheese. The grilled chicken sandwich was great and the coleslaw was actually some of the best I’ve ever had. The fries were hot and crispy. The beet salad is fresh and flavorful. The coffee was amazing also! The staff was friendly and attentive. The place is very clean and nice.
