The name and the menu artfully stained with a faux coffee-cup ring advertise the coffee house aspect, but this spot has much more to offer. Breakfast items include starters like oversized scones, muffins, bagels and yogurt parfait.

For a more substantial breakfast pick from French toast (plain and a stuffed version), Belgium waffles (with strawberries and bananas or with apples and caramel rum sauce), pancakes, breakfast burritos and frittatas (the "Italian flag" stars tomatoes, spinach, onions and mozzarella; the bacon frittata has applewood smoked bacon, sauteed mushrooms and Cheddar). The lineup of usual sides-include smoke bacon, sausage, and ham off the bone. For lunch, bite into any of seven panini. Soups, salads and regular sandwiches (tuna melt, turkey and Swiss, egg salad) round out lunch.


The panini, served on grilled, rosemary-flecked bread, are the way to go: Favorites are the prosciutto and provolone and the grilled chicken with mozzarella and bacon.
For breakfast, the stuffed French toast boasts two large slices of brioche filled with vanilla-spiked whipped cream cheese, topped with banana and strawberry slices and drizzled with a banana creme anglaise and raspberry coulis. Try the espresso-based drinks: The extensive list includes all the classics, such as espresso, cappuccino, latte, iced cappucino and iced mocha. The hot chocolate is also very good.
