- coffeeHowever, the atmosphere was severely lacking, earning it a low score. The coffee was particularly disappointing; it was watery, usually cold, and a letdown for a place named ". Coffee shop.
If you're looking for fantastic breakfast and lunch sandwiches, especially those on croissants or bagels, this spot is a definite go-to. Just be aware that while the food shines, the coffee might not hit the mark for everyone.
Service (9 out of 10)
mentioned by 76% of the guests
When it comes to service, this spot truly shines! With an excellent score of 9 and a fantastic customer satisfaction rate of 95.2%, its clear guests are consistently impressed. Out of 21 comments, a whopping 20 rave about the "super nice family" and "caring owners" who run the place, highlighting their "kindness" and "pet service friendly" approach.

How are the prices at Danny's?
You’re looking at roughly 13 per person – reported by 16 diners. That puts it in the $11–$20 category. For a Cafe, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
While the average hovers around 13, it’s interesting to see that most guests actually spend less, with a good chunk of prices landing in the $1–$10 range. This suggests a nice spread, offering options for different budgets.

Loved this quiet coffee shop!
I LOVED this place a lot, even though I've only been there twice, once last week and again today. I would greatly recommend coming to this coffee shop. There are mostly only 2 employees, but they are nice and very grateful for the tips you leave them.
I would recommend coming here because of how quiet it is.

Great Coffee and Pastries, Inconsistent Hours
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, especially regarding their coffee, sandwiches, and croissant dogs. The food quality is excellent. However, there's a significant issue with their opening hours.
The restaurant advertises being open at 7 AM on weekdays, but on multiple occasions when I've stopped by between 7: 15 AM and 7: 30 AM on my way to work, they have been closed. This inconsistency in their availability is frustrating.

Fresh BLTA and Great Local Support
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. I enjoyed their B. L.
T. A sandwich, which was always fresh and a healthy bite on the go. The bread was toasted to perfection.
The owner was nice, and the preparation was fast. It's also great that you're supporting a local business :)
