About

This family-run Caribbean and Latin American café is known for its Dominican bowl, generously filled sourdough sandwiches, and vegan cinnamon buns. The menu is concise, with vegan quiche, cakes, and dishes that can be adapted; expect a small, sometimes cramped dining room, friendly service, and reasonably priced coffee with plant milk.
