"I loved Talkies and I was sad it was closing until I realized it was becoming Koffie; although there are different owners, many of the main players are the same and you may still order your faves from Talkies. I feel like I am stepping into a Parisian caf\u00E9 when I walk in here, sans the Frenchies. Hardwood and rich colors abound; French doors lead to the Market Ave Wine Bar (co-owned and relocated from across the street). I can't think of a negative. I am adding it to my list of great 1st date spots. Romance, romance, romance!! \n\nStop by a blistery summer day after pushing your way through the West Side Market and order an iced Turtle. It will rock your world."^^ . . "5"^^ . "2"^^ .
