Cute coffee shop in Little Italy. The service we received was excellent and we really appreciated the recommendations that were provided. We tried the pistachio and opera cakes. We found both cakes extremely sweet, a little too much for our liking. The upstairs seating was cute but a little dated. Would visit again to try their mini cheesecakes.

The cafe itself is tiny and has a very cozy feel to it. I love the fact that the cafe has a lot of options to choose from, both to eat and drink. The price is quite reasonable and the servings is generous as well. They do have a couple do tables for those looking to sit and grab a bite. In terms of improvements, the chicken in the chicken Panini needed to be cooked better. It was not cooked evenly as i found it undercooked in places.

The service is very slow. It took more than 30 min to make coffee and grab the ready cakes. The coffee and cake are tasty. The coffee shop does not look nice at all. They did a mistake by charging me for extra stuff that I didn't order. I asked for take away cup,but they get me normal dining in cups. The staff are not trained at all. There is only one lady that know the work but other two are not aware of anything and they did mistakes in each and every order. I witness three mistakes in the 3 customers ahead of me. Can't recommend this place.

Delicious pastries, great drinks, relaxing vibe. I haven't been here since they were called Simply Biscotti but I love the renovated space upstairs.

Coming from Toronto, I’d say the price is fair, taste is decent, but not impressive. Maybe I was having high expectations after read the good reviews here. The desserts make a good date night companion.

Selected two cakes for our first visit based purely on window appeal. We got the pistachio and buttercream cake and Ferrero Rocher cake. Unfortunately both were not enjoyable. The sponges were well baked but lacked flavour and the icing was overly sweet and also lacked flavour. The pistachio cake lacked pistachio flavour and the Ferrero Rocher cake lacked Ferrero flavour. Some other treats looked good So I may come back to try them someday but it wasn’t a great first experience.

Loved the entire experience! Guy at the front was really friendly and I loved my sweets and hot chocolate. The upstairs is such a treasure!

Great little cafe. The deserts are very yummy. Only thing I'd say to add is more gluten/dairy/lactose free options for the deserts. Highlight was the tiny glass jar of Nutella I got with my cake. <3 adorable!!! Thank you!

Tasty panini and a creamy pistachio cake! Cute place in the neighborhood. They have a big selection of pastries and cakes.

Like the location and the set up of the place - cute little house with large outdoor patio. Unimpressed by the quality of the espresso and pistachio cake. I had a small cortado and it tasted watery. The cake is very sweet with little flavor of pistachio, and it tasted stale. The Costco pistachio layer cake is much better. If this place wants to attract local customers, it needs to improve the quality of the food.
