" Effy’s Cafe is seriously a must-visit if you're in the area! The service is outstanding, friendly staff that feels like family. The Mediterranean dishes are delectable! I had the lentil soup, which was comforting and flavorful. I will surely be returning to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Effy's was not what I expected. Although the staff were welcoming, I found the food lacked authenticity. I ordered a shakshuka, and it was bland without much seasoning. However, the coffee was well brewed and served hot. I believe they have potential, but they need to focus more on the food to enhance the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Effy’s has some of the best coffee in town! I visited with friends for brunch, and although I enjoyed the coffee, I found the food to be just average. The avocado toast was good but lacked any real depth of flavor. It was a nice experience overall, thanks to the friendly staff and cozy interior. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Effy's Cafe recently, and it was nothing short of amazing! The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was quick and friendly. I ordered the Mediterranean plate, which was bursting with flavors! The hummus was creamy, and the falafel was crispy—just how I love it. Every bite felt fresh and wholesome. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Effy’s, and I truly enjoyed my experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting. The falafel was crispy and paired perfectly with their tahini sauce. I also loved the fresh vegetable salad on the side. Excellent portion size for the price you pay! I’m looking forward to returning and trying something new from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was genuinely impressed with the quality of food at Effy's. Their Mediterranean offerings are authentic, and I really enjoyed my grilled fish platter. It was fresh and turned out to be a generous portion. The atmosphere is cozy, making this an excellent brunch spot. I’ll definitely return soon and try their coffee! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite disappointed after my visit to Effy's Cafe. Although the ambiance was nice, the food didn't meet my expectations. I tried the shakshuka, and while it looked appealing, it lacked depth of flavor. The coffee, on the other hand, was nice and warm but not strong enough for my taste. While the servers were nice and attentive, I cannot say I would come back to try it again. " (*Curated Review*)
