We're just average quiet people with one kid, an appetite and our own opinions.

We prefer soda with our meals instead of wine and will choose the mozzarella sticks over the escargot. We are not looking to have our chairs pulled out for us, but do like to be offered a refill on our drinks (and expect them to be free). We like coupons but are willing to pay if the food and services are warranted.

With this in mind, we would like to provide you with a LIST OF PLACES TO EAT.

1-10 Overall rating: 8

Food Taste: Had pierogies which we both found excellent and hot chocolate, my wife loved the hot chocolate with marshmellow fluff, though it was a nice size, I thought it was a little too watery for my tastes but I should note, I only like hot chocolate with 100% milk, and the fluff was too sticky on my upper lip (wow, hows that for picky). Price is what you would expect to pay for a place like this in this location.

Notes: Would like to see a larger menu selection, but again keep in mind, it's a coffee shop / Deli. We used a $5.00 coupon which is available from Entertainment books online. Recommended.
