About Us & Our Philosophy

“I wanted a place for the neighborhood. Somewhere people can go everyday that offers natural homey food at inexpensive prices. During the day, we offer a full coffee bar and simple, from scratch lunch items. At night, we are a full liquor wine bar with small plates inspired from the green market.”

“We use whole grains in everything we bake, with no corn syrup or hydrogenated oils. We use local ingredients as much as possible. We strive to be an affordable option for our neighbors; and enjoy being a part of our new east 49th neighborhood!”
