Gigi's Cafe

We found this place online when looking for a new fun brunch place, and Gigi’s sure didn’t disappoint. The interiors were so charming and homey (particularly love the map wallpaper), the staff was attentive and friendly (we even got to meet the owner, Lily), and the food was terrific. We had lemon blueberry pancakes, avocado toast and eggs Benedict. Next time we’ll try more South American fare as we didn’t realize they had all of it. It was truly a wonderful experience.

After Mass and before the snow storm, went for brunch at Gigi’s cafe @gigiscedargrove - in Chloe’s words- very good service, food and drink (coffee- she had an iced Nutella latte) 10/10 and cleanliness 10/10. One of those places that feels quietly right. Good coffee, well-made food, unfussy but thoughtful — the kind of café you actually want to return to, not just photograph once. It has that neighborhood rhythm: people chatting, working, lingering. Nothing try-hard, nothing chaotic. Just solid execution and a calm, welcoming energy. Sometimes that’s the highest compliment. A place that knows what it is — and does it well. Only thing is next time I’ll bring champagne 🤣! (It’s BYOB).

Tried Gigi’s for the first time this morning. What an amazing cafe! The latte flight is perfect to share with a friend and exactly what we needed to wake us up this morning. The Chicken Avocado arepas are to DIE for! Perfect blend of flavors. The environment is super chill and gorgeous inside. It’s also roomy enough where you don’t feel like you’re on top of other guests. Lastly, the staff was friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to come back!

Come in and grab a seat. Server brought over the menus and then came back to take our order. We got the Toasted Marshmallow Mocha hot and iced. Both were aesthetically pleasing but also tasty. The tres golpes was a hit and loved the avocado with pepper sprinkled on it. Tres leches pancakes were so good and didn’t need syrup. Ordered two eggs and Taylor ham on the side. Everything was delicious and we will be back again. Plenty of seating and definitely can use as a remote work location. We found quick parking right in the front.

In looking for a place to have brunch on New Year’s Day, I was sold on a picture of mangu con los tres golpes. We arrived to a saxophonist playing some tunes and were greeted by the owner. It is a beautiful and cozy space with lots of different seating options. The coffee menu is fun and extensive, definitely want to come back to try the latte flight! The food we ordered was super yummy the flat white was delicious and overall it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend you try it if you’re in the area, and if not it is most definitely worth the trip! Wishing this Dominican-owned business much success and many blessings in the new year and beyond.
