For thirty years, this corner has been the neighborhood’s heartbeat: morning light pouring across original wooden floors, and the warm, irresistible scent of almond croissants that draws students, families, and longtime locals through the door. The menu balances comforting staples—pesto egg-and-cheese sandwiches. Beneath the charm lies a solid, turnkey business: $500,000 in annual revenue, a rare $3,000/month lease (about 7% of gross sales), and owner-operator earnings that can exceed $70,000 a year.

At the center of it all stood the backlit bar, glowing like a beacon, often photographed with cocktails in hand, bartenders framed in golden light. This wasn’t just decor. It was a stage for memories. Birthdays, graduations, casual nights out — all played out here, in a dining room designed to feel both intimate and polished.
