Wow... I can't believe I've been driving past this place without knowing of its existence! True to its name, this almost secret cafe/bakery is super cute and tucked away in plain sight on Kirby. Small and intimate, they serve big cups of coffee and both savory and sweet breakfast/brunch foods. Greek inspired, so think souvlaki, moussaka, and baklava on top of your usual cafe goodies like chicken and waffles, quiche, salads, and even burgers. But who am I kidding-- their beautiful sweets will have me coming back for more!!
Their famous ekmeck kaitafi dessert (you'll see it scrolling through Yelp pics) was tasty, lots of whipped cream with some texture contrast, but I definitely enjoyed their other desserts more. The homemade croissants aren't your usual extra flaky, gazillion layer croissants you find at Common Bond or other HTown bakeries-- they're more buttery and tender, and come with homemade strawberry butter :) but their cute little cakes... *squeal*!
Each dessert is around the $8-10 range, so not cheap, but definitely worth the cuteness and experience ^_^ how are they also so darn tasty?! Even their carrot cake (usually not a fan) is not only pretty, but the cream cheese frosting part was super light and whipped, and the cake itself was not too soft and not too "spicy" the way carrot cake usually is. The Ferrero Mousse cake was gorgeous, and inside was all chocolatey mousse, mmm~~~ might be a little too one-toned taste if you're eating dessert by yourself, so I recommend ordering a bunch between friends and sharing.
Plenty of free parking in the garage. Service was super friendly! It's a bit small inside with some tables and couches, so I wouldn't bring a large group. But definitely bring a few friends to share a bunch of cute cakes with together~ Enjoy! :)
