This European style café has a great selection of fresh coffees, breads, chocolates and pastries.

While it is more of a coffee shop than a restaurant, they do serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with a good selection of wraps, soups and sandwiches daily.

Seating inside is cozy and can sometimes be crowded but there is plenty of seating outside in the garden terrace. On a nice day you can really forget the time and enjoy conversation or a good read.

While you are in line being tempted by the selection of treats they post a daily trivia question that will win you a free cup of coffee if you are smart enough to know the answer.

Remember that Rembrandt’s offers a selection of fresh breads, whole coffee beans, pastries and an assortment of delectable candies available for purchase.
