    This place was really cute on the inside and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The service was perfect since they delivered the food to my table, and also accommodated to my questions and needs.

    Sammy’s Café is such a nice and chill breakfast spot. The food is always fresh, and their sandwiches are really good. They also have yummy desserts and smoothies that I love. The inside looks super clean and cozy, and the people who work there are really nice. It’s the perfect place to grab breakfast or just hang out with friends.

    Great spot for a quick bite to eat. The coffee is Australian Approved (I’m the Australian). Will say it is a bit expensive for an Australian though - $20 USD for a bagel and coffee (~$36 AUD). I love the decor in this place.

    I came in with my daughter for breakfast. They have the best bagels and sandwiches. My daughter got her self a sausage burrito. She said it’s the best burrito she’s ever had. They use very fresh ingredients and it is a very cute cafe. The inside is very clean and organized. I ordered an egg bagel and it was so delicious and toasted. The interior is very fascinating and incredible.

    We came here several times in the morning for coffee, and my girlfriend also had breakfast here. I had a mocha, which was really delicious, and the bagel we ordered was freshly prepared – you could definitely taste the difference. The staff was super friendly, and there are also some nice seating options inside.
