What People Are Saying About Violet

In Short – A cartoonish, red-haired woman and her pet cat are painted on a back wall, adding charm to this bright, sunny cafe situated on a main drag of pubs, boutiques and restaurants. Small red tables fill the one-room space, where diners chat over omelettes, frittatas, pancakes and kid's faves like french toast and granola parfait. Exposed brick, comfy tables and a fireplace tucked at the rear further lend to comfort.

Great neighborhood spot
by carlson_b
The people are friendly, the food is great, the prices are very reasonable, its a nice atmosphere for families, what a great addition to the neighborhood. The Creole Benedict is highly recommended and I'm looking forward to going back for the Adult Grilled Cheese with brie, blueberry compote, and mache on sourdough. It appears to be mainly a brunch & lunch place (as well as coffee & pastries/pies in the front) rather than big dinners but definitely worth checking it out.
- Pros: Great food, great value, neighborhood atmosphere
- Cons: The servers seemed a bit inexperienced but that's all I could find
