Cafe Archetypus

Perfect for a late night date with your partner. The place is very romantic especially if you reserve for the caves. The servers all do work together so they really do not rush to get you out. Just be patient with them. I do recommend 100%….. Also, perfect place to give your partner a promise ring. 😉

A great unique date night spot for a romantic dinner. Feels very intimate and cozy. Wish I knew the place was BYOB. Had the Dharma sundae (green tea & vanilla ice cream w red bean) and hummus platter. Both were very good. The iced chai latte was also great choice.

This place should be on the show "Most Expensiviest". Seriously...went into Cafe Archetypus to get the GF some hot chocolate being she had a craving and being we were in the area. Doing a Google search for places that serve hot chocolate Google showed Cafe Archetypus. Reading a few reviews it was decided their hot chocolate sounded worth trying. In we went and noticed the atmosphere was dark, with very low lighting, like entering a cave. Certainly not your typical decor. We were greeted by a warm and friendly hostess who offered to seat us. We sat in the front which had more lighting. After a short while or eye adjustment period, another of the host brought us the menu and we chose the hot chocolate, green tea, and apple pie as a shared item. The hot chocolate was good and spicy but made with almond milk. The green tea was the Chinese variety, I had to settle on this style being they didn't offer Japanese Green Tea. The apple pie was good, nice, and warm with the slice in the center offset by a scoop of ice cream topped with a sphere of walnut compote and flanked by 2 mounds of whipped cream. Enjoyable was the atmosphere and the snacking and then we got the bill. Whoa...it was just apple pie, hot chocolate, and green tea! So here's my takeaway...your paying for location, ambience and creative menu items. As I said it was good just not really great.

I get very skeptical when the inside of a restaurant is VERY dimly lit. What are they literally hiding? I went on a rainy satuday night without a reservation and was immediately sat in a cave/booth table in the back. I am not kidding when I say this restaurant is very dimly lit. The only sources of light were candles.

Now the food. We had the hummus, the chicken gyro plate and the falafel plate. The hummus comes with something like 8 pieces of pita and was delicious. Both the chicken gyro plate and the falafel plate were gigantic and came with pita and a salad. The dressing on the salad was fantastic. The chicken and the falafel were ok. Nothing special. We had the tiramisu dessert which was great. The price is fine since they give pretty generous portions
