The cafe is is a great location near a growing shopping area and the dining room is very Italian, very nice place for couples or groups. I've been there at all times and any day, Sundays are busy from early morning until mid-afternoon, therefore I avoid this day at all cost. The last time I was there on a Sunday, it was a zoo and I waited 45 minutes for a table. They were very disorganized. Other days is fine. The food is quite good, I've tried most of the breakfast items. I'm very happy with the Vegetarian Omellette. It comes with a mix of fresh fruit and you can tell it's not from a can. My only concern is that in the past few months they have been getting stingy with the fruit and now only serve half as much as they did and then raised the price. When this place first opened, it was excellent value. Overall value is not what it was, it's getting expensive. Average breakfast with coffee and tax is now about $10. Even though the food is good, it's hardly worth that kind of money. Recently I was SHOCKED to overhear the owner tell an employee not to wash the fruit because it was all pre-washed. I've been in the restaurant business and can assure anyone that not washing ALL food before preparation is nothing less than a recipe for food-borne illness. I now go out of my way to ask the server to assure that the fruit is washed before they serve it to me or I don't want it AND will expect them to discount my meal. I shouldn't have to do this, this is common sense. What is this place waiting for, the health inspector to charge them or worse, someone to become sick to their stomach from SALMONELLA?? Come on Grazie owners, give your head a shake! Outside of the possiblity of going to hospital because of this place, it's quite nice. Oh, the service is usually quite good although they rarely have decaf coffee and it's common to wait 20 minutes for it. Also, they tend to hire really young servers that one can tell are not well trained and don't give the attention that the customer deserves. Only once I HAVE NOT LEFT A TIP HERE because of this.

Awesome food and great atmosphere!

Excellent food, service modern dining room. All day breakfast, omelettes are FANTASTIC. Food portions better than average, most breakfast items include lots of FRESH fruit and you can tell it's not from a can. Expect to pay $10-$15 for breafast or lunch. IT's worth it.

Best time - early in the morning. Avoid Sunday 11am-2pm unless you want to wait.

One minor criticism - the floor is not level and more often than not, many of the tables' legs do not sit square on the floor, I diskike rocking tables.
