“Such a nice place to have a relaxing lunch as we search for apartments in the area. We definitely we will visiting often in the future! Back again in 2026 and loved the tomato cucumber salad and Ukrainian Pancakes.”
“This place was absolutely delicious! My family and I came here and it felt so homey, like we were eating from someone’s kitchen. The food was perfect, everything was seriously soooo tasty! Anything with meat in it, was cooked perfectly. Like the meat was perfectly tender. Perogis for the table is a must. Lots of vegetarian options for those wondering! I am from out of town and will consider coming back here to eat. We don’t get dessert this time, but will next time! It was so great.”
“Outstanding breakfast! I felt like I was eating breakfast at my grandma’s house in Europe. Service, food, and atmosphere was peaceful, simple, cozy, and overall wonderful. I can’t wait to come back!”
“I was just there for Private party ! Great food, great service !Organic tea and much more ! Highly recommended!”
“Delicious Ukrainian pierogi and borscht. Very nostalgic. Particularly enjoyed the mushroom and potato in tarragon cream.”
“The Varenyky were amazing and so was the cucumber salad. I can’t wait to go back and try the crepes.”
“Light jazz, frosty carafe of still water, elegant and restrained pastries, a welcome place to sit for an hour or two away from American cultural encroachment.”
“This is such a cozy and lovely cafe. We ordered the crepes which were very tasty. And also the waitress recommended the weekend special Hutsulske Pechenya, which is a beef potato stew in clay pot with ricotta rolls, and it was so good. It was very hearty and comfortable that we finished all. We also ordered a honey cake to go it was great also.”
