My thoughts:
My companion for the evening's friend really sold my friend on this place, and he practically insisted that we come here.
The place is a simple and rather plain cafe. It's also very small, with about a 20 person seating capacity, and was about 25% full the night we came, despite it being a Saturday night.
My friend ordered an espresso ($2.45), which he said was very good. I didn't try it - I try to stay away from anything caffeinated past 1pm because I am an early sleeper. Anyway, he said it was good.
We ordered a black sesame crepe ($11.99), which we were told is their best seller. The ice-cream is made in-house and has sprinkles of sesame, peanut, sponge cake and cereal and chocolate drizzled on top, with a huge dollop of whipped cream on the side. Great presentation! The crepe overall was very good, though I generally prefer softer, chewier crepes. The crepe here is on the dry and thin side, so if that's your thing, I recommend you come here.
All in all a nice experience. They had quite an extensive dessert/fine cakes menu, but those are generally an overkill for me. I don't have an enormous sweet tooth, and I prefer simple, familiar things. I would come back if I'm passing by and am hit with a sugar craving.
