I'm giving the food four stars and boosting another star for the owner's passion and personality. Oliver could not have been more patient, friendly and helpful during our first visit. Warning, this is not a coffee house where you can get your cup 'o' joe in less than 30 seconds. At first I felt a little guilty when he was explaining their menu items in full detail and asking where we were from, but I quickly realized that the folks line understood that this is a place to relax, engage in a little conversation, get fresh pastries or breakfast and hang for as long as you want.
Rarely, do you get an instant feeling that you are at a place where the owners love what they do and puts ttotal passion into it. The employees equally present themselves the same way. I had the feelilng that I was at a small Parisian Cafe in the middle of a desert.
