Great hideaway. Good coffee. Limited lunch menu. Food just ok. A bit pricy.

Great neighborhood place to eat. There was music there tonight. Food good, good atmosphere and good food.

Have been gone from the area for a couple of years but used to frequent Eastgate with a friend, regularly. Time has been kind to this gem. There has been some nice changes including a full bar. Sunday 6/24, I ordered coffee, spinach soup and the beautiful round banana cake. Everything was delicious. I love the slow feel of the cafe. We opted for indoor seating where it was nice and cool. I always feel as if Im transported to another place where good food is to be savored and time spent with friends here binds you forever. Service was excellent and the food arrived quickly. My friend ordered a pasta dish with a large plate beautifully colored salad.Hid food was a feast for the eyes. Portions were large and looked inspiring. Can’t think of a better way to be welcomed back to the area. What a gracious, lovely place with very good food.
