Very expensive...but very good. I've never eaten here, but it's a beautiful cafe, and they serve sandwiches, etc..

I was led to this shop by convincing raves about it on yelp, etc., and went up to check it out. I tried their house brew--it was lighter than I'd expected but very good--smooth, no after-taste, not at all acidic.

Sicaff
é does sell some sandwiches and pastries. I ordered a sandwich that came saran-wrapped, and the jolt back to the days of eating saran-wrapped deli meat sandwiches was...surprising. And not totally unpleasant. But next time I go, I think I'll try a pastry or just stick to the coffee.

They have a comfortable seating area at the front of the shop, with small round tables and comfortable chairs, as well as a bar with stools that looks out over the street.
