The service is always friendly and polite, and the place is kept clean. The outdoor seating is lovely on sunny days. The food is excellent too—it's the usual cafe offerings but made fresh to order. I highly recommend it to any coffee lovers.

First, the staff are incredibly friendly and always welcome me with a smile. In particular, the guy at the cash register is especially nice. Second, they offer delicious options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can savor Greek and Mediterranean dishes while studying or catching up with friends. Lastly, the internet connection is excellent!

My friend got the Croque Monsieur and I got the Mousaka. I had a bite of my friend's Croque Monsieur, which was delicious! The bread was nicely toasted and the mustard added a nice kick to it. I also appreciated that it wasn't overflowing with sauce. I was very happy with my decision because the Mousaka was absolutely delectable. It also came with a mixed greens salad and bread. The greens were lightly tossed in a vinaigrette. The Mousaka was a casserole with ground beef, potato, and eggplant, and was topped with a tomato sauce and cheese. The amount of cheese was perfect, and what I liked most was that the tomato sauce was nicely seasoned and not sour. The potatoes and eggplant were cooked thoroughly and their difference in textures complemented each other very well. The portions are generous for the price, and the worker was extremely friendly and did not try to subtly rush us out even though we were the last ones in the restaurant as it was approaching closing time.
