We are lucky to live near this family establishment. They make some of our favorite crepes. Although they have been affected by the recent egg prices, they keep making quality food.

Came here for the first time recently and we truly enjoyed our experience! The crepes were delicious and very unique! I got a peach and cottage cheese crepe with mango sauce. It was unreal! Beautiful atmosphere inside too. They have a unique drink menu. We will definitely be back!

Great food and service. Stopped by while we were on vacation and the food was excellent. Great breakfast/lunch/coffee selection. Staff was very pleasant. Definitely a place to stop by if you are in town or a place to make your local breakfast go to.

This place really has a good at home feeling. Service was good and the food was great. I had a BBQ pork panini it had so much flavor. Definitely coming back for more. If you live in this area I recommend you to stop by.

We had a great lunch today at The Gathering Cafe. I had the Arc de Triumph crepe and it was delicious, I would get it again. My mom had the Chicken Marsala which comes highly recommended, it was really delicious. The crepes are generous so I think two people could easily split, unless one person is very hungry. The Thai iced tea is also so good and refreshing.

Lovely woman-owned cafe! The decor, the music, and ambiance is so soothing and calm! There is immediate warmth when you walk into this place, especially when you're greeted with then most sincere smiles. I stumbled upon this gem by accident going to the laundromat next door. Definitely recommend for a place to catch up with good friends, for business meetings, while waiting on the laundry machines, to study, or just a pleasant place to relax.
