"Cafe Lore is the perfect spot when you’re in no hurry and want to indulge in a leisurely multi-course dinner paired with wine. Brian, who serves as the owner, chef, and server, is a truly unique individual with a genuine love for meeting people and a deep passion for exceptional food and hospitality. If you have somewhere to be, just let him know ahead of time, and he’ll speed things up for you. Otherwise, he assumes you’re there to savor the meal and experience, not rush through it—a refreshing change in this city. I tried the pumpkin ravioli with Alfredo on his recommendation, and though it might sound unusual, it works wonderfully, much like a creamy butternut bisque. My boyfriend, a serious eggplant parm enthusiast, was genuinely impressed with his dish. As a special surprise, Brian brought us some of his homemade coconut ice cream for dessert, which was delightful—I can’t wait to return for more. This place truly stands out!"
