★★★★★8 months agoBrillant atmosphere for any date night. The Apple tarte/ cake in general was dissapointing.
Lucas Jushinski
★★★★★7 months agoCafe Art’s is a hit! I quite enjoyed the hamburger and fries I had. The pear & chocolate tart was delicious as well. I loved the music selection playing while I ate. The service was warm and friendly. And the atmosphere was fun and creative. I definitely recommend!
