The Chef’s Vision, The Community’s Café
French-inspired coffee and pastry, elevated by local spirit and genuine hospitality
A Space Shaped by Our Story
Our café is a quiet expression of our story—French roots meeting a neighborhood we love. The space is intentionally simple: natural light, warm textures, and thoughtful details that reflect the way we cook—precise, honest, and human. From the first grind to the last flaky crumb, everything is guided by French savoir-faire and a respect for everyday ritual. It’s a room for unhurried conversations, morning routines, and small celebrations—elegant without pretense, welcoming by design

About Sebastien & Carla
From Paris and Monte Carlo to New York and Washington, D.C., Chef Sébastien Rondier built a career defined by precision and hospitality—training in Michelin-starred restaurants, leading landmark hotel kitchens, and even winning Cutthroat Kitchen. Together with his wife, Carla, he set out to translate that world-class craft into an everyday café: quietly elegant, deeply welcoming, and rooted in community.
The menu reflects the pair’s shared vision—French-inspired technique, honest ingredients, and calm, considered service. What began as a life in fine dining now lives in a neighborhood room, where discipline meets ease and every detail is designed to restore.
