This is a great spot for any meal. I’ve been here from brunch, dinner, restaurant weeks, and today for lunch. The food was so good and so was the drink. I ordered “the city” – a Manhattan, it was delicious and perfectly balanced with great flavor. We ordered rigatoni ala vodka (with the cayenne pepper), and a portabella burger/sandwich, finished with a bananas foster bread pudding. The portabella sandwich had a little spicy kicked to it and was topped with roasted red pepper, which is the bright red in the photo. We also had a Mexi-cocoa. It was ok, pretty much tastes like the powdered Abuelita packets from the store with a lot of milk; not as much kick as I’d like, but it was good. The bread pudding felt more like a piece of banana bread-cake than a bread pudding in the classic sense but it was good.
The rigatoni was so good, I love it with the cayenne pepper, the hotter the better! The Manhattan was great as well, one was sufficient for so early in the afternoon. I love the vibe and space here, it’s different than other places downtown and throughout the area. You don’t feel rushed when you come, it’s not as though they set a timer and rush you through your meal and out the door like I’ve had at some places in the Southern Tier.

We were in town picking my daughter up from school. We had a lovely lunch. We shared a vodka flatbread that was yummy. She had the penne a la vodka and really enjoyed it. I had the braised beef bao buns and hibiscus tea and they were delicious. The cafe is adorable. Our server Elaine was wonderful with recommendations.

Great casual restaurant serving up American standard fare. Nice selection of salads, bowls and entrees. Friendly service and tasty food. Reasonably priced. Paid street parking around the area. They also have nightly events with no cover.

Good variety and fresh ingredients.
Pumpkin soup was good and kicking with good blend of sweet and hot spices.
The flat bred was nice and crispy
The strawberry salad was refreshing and tasty
The ceaser salad was nice
Gyozas were the only thing I would pass as it seems like they are not handmade.
Service was great, friendly and efficient.
Very nice stop with a good vfm.

Charming vibe, great food, good espressos, warm service, eclectic decor. A restaurant with a charm. Absolutely loved the experience. Tough to say which one was better than the others – everyone loved what they ordered, from salads to burgers to bao buns to salmon entrees. Good PMS and Mushishi were superb dessert options, as was my McGyver’ed affogato (vanilla ice cream side serve with double shot of espresso).

A very cool little restaurant that we randomly found on our way home from vacation. Caden was an amazing server who was so friendly and personable with everyone, especially our 4 year old. The food was outstanding and recommend any of the dishes we had. Greek bowl does have a bit of heat but you can get extra tzatziki and feta. We also got desserts but they didn’t last long enough for pictures. Brownie sundae and fried cheesecake were both amazing. This place is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!

We LOVED this place. We found our way to the Lost Dog Cafe on a rainy day while camping. The menu has great selection and we all had a fantastic meal. My daughter proclaimed her dish was a “taste sensation”. Who would have guessed we would have such a memorable experience on a sleepy summer Thursday in Binghamton. Oh, and DEFINITELY try the French cream sodas – what a treat!
