We met up with friends of ours (Jenn, Brett, Matt, Jeff, Robyn and Terry) and had initially planned on seeing a movie out on their patio, but mother nature had other ideas and there was a rain delay.
We all settled down in one of the many cozy nooks there. The place is just wonderful, like a good friend's family room (with a lot of extra tables)very charming. There are sofas, loveseats, settees, etc...all over, with books to read and even board games to occupy an entire evening.
We did check out the patio and it's also wonderful. There is plenty of space and an enormous tree growing right in the center. They have free movies out there every Saturday night (unless it rains) and they are the old "talkies" so I'm sure they will be a real treat.









The drink menu for this cafe is very imaginative offering a wide variety of concoctions most of which can be ordered "spiked". We ordered the White Sangria, made with melons and the Spiked Ice Tea of the day (spiked with Absolut, and cherry liqueur). Later we went back to get a large Chai Latte that was AMAZING and my new favorite drink. They served it to us "Americano" size which is only 1.00 more for double the amount! What a deal!



We were a little hungry so we ordered the "Picnic Basket" where we got 2 cheeses, sausage, fruit, olives, nuts and bread....all for only $12.00! Try to swing that deal in France.



There were all sorts of wonderful pastries and muffins and a fantastic array of beautiful desserts.
