I walked into Café Miriam at 1:43 knowing that their closing time was 2, ready to sheepishly ask if I might still be able to order takeout. The man behind the counter greeted me with gusto and said, “Here you are! We’ve been here waiting for you!” I asked if they were still seating for lunch and he said, “1:43, of course we are still seating for lunch. Take all the time you want. How has your day been? Not too stressful?” I told him it had been a good day and he said, “To make it even brighter I’m going to give you a Nutella crepe for free.” Then he instructed the waitress to make it with strawberries and bananas, too. I was overwhelmed by all this warmth and generosity, and he just brushed it off, saying, “I want to do this nice thing for you. You just find someone to do something nice for, and keep it going.” So you should definitely make haste and go bring yourself to the amazing hospitality of Café Miriam. Incidentally, both the Nutella crepe and the caprese crepe that I bought were excellent. So you won’t be disappointed by the food. But the main reason to go is to bring yourself within the aura of this most gracious host. I rarely write reviews, but this generosity needed to be acknowledged.
