It was a cold and windy bike ride but when I entered this cafe a lot of happiness filled my heart. The cashier was rather patient as I was in indecisive about my salad, but he could have been even kinder. The shrimp salad and panini were good, but not worth the INCREDIBLY high prices ($12 and $15). Lower the price bro!!! But overall cute cafe atmosphere and the pastries looked DEELEESHOUS. We tried the tiramisu, FOR FREE, and it was so light and lovely!

Bel Ami has been my go-to place for a caffeine fix and a cozy atmosphere for a long time now. I love the mini baguettes and their coffee never disappoints. The friendly staff always make you feel welcome. The decor is charming, and it's the perfect spot to catch up with a friend or simply enjoy a good book. Highly recommended! ☕👌🏼

Loved my experience here! I got a matcha and their croissant. My matcha was just perfect. I would say it was one of my favourite places for Matcha now. My friend took a coffee, it was great too. Crossiant was top notch too. Cherry on the top was their friendly service. Moreover the ambiance of this quaint little cafe is what steals the show.
