Firefly Cafe opened today! The atmosphere is light and airy. The staff is pleasant and the food is good! You order at the counter and they come bring your food. We tried a little of everything! The tables favorites were the flatbreads (we had the Creamy Pig and Sweet Italian and they were great!), the Brussel Sprouts (crispy with garlic and parmasen with an amazing dip on the side), Green Beans (fried with the same amazing sauce on the side), and hummus (nice lemon forward)! The pimento cheese wasnt bad at all either. Haven't tried the dinner menu yet, but will be back soon for that!

This place is great but seems like not a lot of people have discovered it yet! I think it’s pretty new. It’s a very big space with lots of comfy seating and a nice outdoor area. The vibes are great! Dogs are allowed on the patio and they brought a little water bowl for our pup. Everything we ordered to eat was really yummy. Highly recommend the garlic bites! And service was perfect

Amazing service, you order at the front and they bring your order to the table. Everybody was so nice. I got the Pacfific Northwest Crepe that had tons of filling. They did not skimp on the salmon. The mac n cheese was good, definitely a smoked gouda base. The atmosphere is beautiful with tons of places to sit and different options. 100% recommend

If you want to satisfy your crepe fix look no further! The whole vibe of this place is quant and charming. The staff is very attentive. We had the love potion crepe and the Mediterranean with tofu. Very nice to have vegetarian friendly savory options. We look forward to visiting again.

From the outside, it looks like any other unassuming cafe. Inside is a spacious place with several nooks of sofaa, perfect for teleworking. I'm always on the lookout for one around here. Tasty smoked salmon pasta and their version of shepherds pie. Will try the crepes next time.
