    This tiny place is very pleasant, especially at the far back overlooking the courtyard, but accent on the “tiny”. Glad I had reserved a table for a friend’s birthday celebration. We enjoyed our choices of pastry, though I would have liked more true cake choices (only one, dark chocolate.) the cappuccino was good. Glad we checked this place out, and it’s right next door to my favorite P.O.S.H. store. Two good places on the same visit.
