I would describe this little spot as a cafe that looks like a cafe (and a pretty funky one at that) but behaves like a restaurant (exceptional food, and intimate table service)
There is a bar, a restaurant, a cocktail lounge... but if it is the cafe you are after, really it is just a hole in a wall type joint, with a man making espresso in one corner of a commercial kitchen...
