It was absolutely delightful. Everything was cooked with intention and the flavors were great. We tried 8 items total on the menu and from the small plates to the larger, everything was incredible. It was also nice that these were veggie options that were not trying be fake meat. All so creative and delicious.

We enjoyed its convenience to Redtwist Theater. The food was made on site with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the broccoli soup. Our server was delightful and efficient. Atmosphere is sophisticated and comfortable. This is clearly a place where people come both for just a cup of coffee or a nice sit-down meal. Don't be confused by the Julius Meinl signs on the outside. This is not just a coffee shop!
