“Has been and continues to be my favorite coffee shop/cafe in the area! Perfect coffee, delicious quiche and morning pastries. Homemade real Lebanese baked Kibbe: the closest I've ever found to my Mom’s!  There’s quiet seating in back, a bit more lively up front and lots of outdoor tables (dogs welcome). The owners are always gracious and friendly!!”
