Great gellatos and sorbets. Same with the coffees, teas and hot chocolat....just delicious and nicely presented. Great daily soups and creative panini and sandwiches....A mandatory stop if you are in the area...highly recommended. Bonus info....washroom clean and walls resemble a wood sauna, I liked it.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit with my mom. Beautiful place, very nice people, delicious food. It's cute and has a very calm nature to it. The pistachio gelato was the best part, and I would highly recommend it. I will definitely be coming back for more of that amazing coffee, too.

What a neat place! The food is pretty simple but made with some unique ingredients. Plus some cool sausage, cheese and condiments. However if you don't sample the Gelato you're missing the whole point. Highly recommend the Lemon Gelato!

Oh. My. Goodness. The gelato is exquisite. It's worth the drive to Pembroke, wherever you are!! 3 medium cups, overflowing with your choice (s) of gelato was under $30. A steal, given the quality and the taste. Go here!
