Specialties

The cost of a slice of our in house made cake is $ 6.50 per slice and has been for nearly 3 years. Most folks who come here will tell you it is nearly large enough for two. We are a locally owned café working hard to help keep the neighborhood a neighborhood. We are people who care about community and welcome feedback, even the mean spirited stuff helps us understand how we can better ourselves. We are not an internet café though you are welcome to use our WiFi. Please come in sit for a bit and enjoy our offerings.

History

Established in 1981.

This is a locally owned Mom N Pop home made dessert Shop, open late. Michael and Wendy took over in June of 2011 and have been working to revitalize the place. It is a comfortable place to sit and socialize or to hold a meeting or party free of TV, advertisements and too many laptops. While we do provide free wifi, we are by no means an internet café, and have limited outlets for customer use. The holiday pies are off the hook, and we recommend you preorder to reserve yours as soon as you can. They are flaky, scrumtuous and addictive! Whole cakes, full service catering and private parties are all available as well. Please drop by and see the rotating community art on the walls or to catch one of the many local free performing art shows!
